Former Zimbabwe bowler Henry Olonga and Kent batsman Matt Walker will be giving talks to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the county's study centre.

Mr Olonga who has been an international bowler since the age of 18, is in exile in England after making a stand against Robert Mugabe's regime.

Matt Walker has been a highly motivational presence in the Kent team for the last 13 years.

Both sportsmen will be giving an insight into how they reached the top of their careers at a special lunch at the centre on Friday at noon.

Kent Spitfires Study Centre is a charity based at the Kent County Cricket Ground and aims to give children the best chance in life.

It works with schools to improve their pupils' self esteem, motivation and basic skills.
