Kent have signed Warwickshire spin bowler Jake Lintott on loan until the end of the 2026 T20 Blast.

The 33-year-old will be part of the Spitfires' T20 team and is also available for selection in the County Championship.

Lintott has taken 115 wickets in 104 appearances in T20 cricket, at an average of 23.06.

"We're delighted to welcome Jake into the group for the next block of first-team fixtures," said Kent's director of cricket, Simon Cook.

"He provides us with an extra dimension to our bowling attack in all formats, and will complement the spin options we have to give us more tactical flexibility."

Lintott has not played for Warwickshire this season and will leave the club at the end of the campaign.

The left-arm wrist spinner has also represented Hampshire and Gloucestershire, Southern Brave in the Hundred, as well as Barbados Royals in the Caribbean Premier League and Fortune Barishal in the Bangladesh Premier League.
