Grant Stewart (cricketer)
Stewart was encouraged by Claydon to move to England in 2016 to play cricket in the Kent Cricket League, first with HSBC and then, in 2017, with Sandwich Town. He holds a European Union passport as his mother is Italian, qualifying him to play as a non-overseas player in England. Stewart moved to play for Adelaide University Cricket Club in South Australia during the 2016/17 season and returned to Kent in 2018. After taking 29 wickets during a series of successful performances for the Kent Second XI in 2017, Stewart signed his first professional contract with Kent at the end of August 2017. After making his first-class debut at the end of the 2017 season, he made his first List A appearance during Kent's pre-season campaign at the 2017–18 Regional Super50 competition in the West Indies, taking three wickets against Guyana at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua.
