Daniel Bell-Drummond and Tawanda Muyeye could feature for Kent Spitfires during their One Day Cup title defence.

The duo are currently with London Spirit (Bell-Drummond) and Oval Invincibles (Muyeye) for the Hundred competition.

But neither have featured in their side’s opening two matches and interim head coach Simon Cook confirmed that they could play for the Spitfires this month.

However, regulations state that they cannot play for Kent on the same day that their franchise team has a match.

“Daniel’s with the London Spirit at the moment, Zak Crawley has come into their side so there’s another batter and potentially he may become available at the back end of this tournament,” said Cook.

“We’re in conversation with him about that. But we have to deal with what we’ve got here with our squad.

“If we get the luxury of a Daniel Bell-Drummond that’s going to be brilliant for us. At the moment we can’t necessarily plan for us.

“Once they get into the tournament itself and the Hundred teams get their sides settled and a bit of confidence around their playing group, then you can work out where you might find gaps.

“For example, we’ve already looked with Tawanda at The Oval, they play almost every day that we play for the first five or six games so by the regulations he’s ruled out.

“With Daniel Bell-Drummond there’s a bit more option and flexibility, in a week’s time there might be a gap where he could play one or two games. But that’s the best-case scenario and the stars and moons and stuff need to align for that to happen!”

Spitfires have won one and lost one of their opening two Group A games in the One Day Cup. They travel to Lancashire on Wednesday and Surrey on Friday before hosting Middlesex at Beckenham on Sunday.
