Kent may yet ring the changes after naming a squad of 13 to travel for their second LV Championship match of the season against Sussex starting in Hove on Wednesday.

After a lacklustre showing in their opening four-day game and their first limited overs' match on Sunday, county captain Rob Key has added pace bowler Robbie Joseph and batsman Neil Dexter to the party for the coach trip down to the south coast.

Key, who is hoping to shake off a virus in time to take his place in the side, warned his team that places may well be up for grabs against the reigning county champions after Kent slid to a 10-wicket drubbing to Nottinghamshire on Saturday and then a 31-reverse to Essex only 24 hours later.

Hosts Sussex will give late fitness tests to pacemen James Kirtley and Jason Lewry ahead of the scheduled 11am start.

Kent from: Key, Denly, van Jaarsveld, Walker, Stevens, Jones, Mahmood, McLaren, Arafat, Tredwell, Saggers, Joseph, Dexter.
