Darren Stevens: Kent to discuss new deal with all-rounder after 237


Darren Stevens is the oldest man to hit a double century in the Championship since Walter Keeton in 1949

Kent will discuss a new deal with Darren Stevens after the all-rounder hit a career-best 237 on day one of their match against Yorkshire.

The 43-year-old, who hit nine sixes and 28 fours in his 225-ball knock, is out of contract at the end of the season.

“Obviously, such performances cannot go unnoticed,” director of cricket Paul Downton told the club website.
