Stat Attack: Who is the oldest player to represent Kent?

Evergreen all-rounder Darren Stevens is set to become the first cricketer to play for Kent in his forties since former England spinner Derek Underwood represented the county aged 42 years 99 days in September 1987.

According to Kent honorary statistician Howard Milton, the feat was commonplace in the early years of county cricket but has become increasingly rare in the professional era.

Howard has compiled a list of the oldest ever Kent cricketers with Lord Harris at the top of the list.
