Departures

Michael Hogan retired from cricket at the end of the 2023 season.[8] Wicket-keeper Jordan Cox signed for Essex.[9] Alex Blake, who made his debut for Kent in 2008, and James Logan were both released by the county after the 2023 season.[10]

Arrivals

In June 2023, Kent announced that England leg-spinner Matt Parkinson would join from Lancashire at the end of the season.[11] In 2023, Parkinson played on loan for Kent in the One Day Cup.[12] In October 2023, Kent announced the signing of bowler George Garrett.[13] The following month, Kent signed bowler Michael Cohen, a South African who qualifies as a non-overseas player through residency.[14]

Kent re-signed Australian fast bowler Wes Agar for the first four months of the season, having represented the county in 2023.[15] Kent also signed a second Australian fast bowler for the first half of the season, Xavier Bartlett, who had played alongside Sam Billings for Brisbane Heat during Big Bash 13.[16]
