Kent have signed New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham for this summer's NatWest T20 Blast.

The 26-year-old joins up with compatriot Adam Milne at Canterbury.

Neesham, who bats left-handed and bowls right-arm seam, has played 68 games for the Black Caps across all formats.

Kent coach Matt Walker said: "We're delighted to welcome someone of Jimmy's pedigree to our T20 squad.

"Jimmy is an exciting cricketer: An explosive batter and a left-hander which will add some balance to our line-up.
