Muyeye signs new Kent contract through 2027

Tawanda Muyeye is the second-highest run scorer in the T20 Blast in 2025 so far

Batter Tawanda Muyeye has signed a new two-year contract with Kent to keep him at the club until at least the end of the 2027 season.

The 24-year-old has made more than 100 appearances for the club since his debut in 2021, scoring more than 3,500 runs.

He is the second highest run-scorer in the T20 Blast so far in 2025, with 516 in 14 matches, and hit his first career T20 century against Essex earlier in July.

"Ever since I arrived here, I've been so grateful for the support that my teammates, coaches and the Kent supporters have given me," Muyeye said.

"I'm determined to continue to develop as a player in a Kent shirt and put in more match-winning performances."

The right-handed batter was born in Zimbabwe but was granted the right to remain in the UK before signing his first deal with Kent and has stated his desire to play for England one day.

He has also scored 570 red-ball runs in County Championship Division Two this season, including a century and four fifties.

Kent director of cricket Simon Cook said Muyeye was an "outstanding talent" and his contract includes the option of a further year beyond 2027.

"[He has] the mindset and work ethic that aligns with where we are going as a club," he said.

"His commitment to continuous improvement and desire to compete at the highest level will be a significant asset to the club going forward."
