Fabian Cowdrey
Cowdrey's 2016 season was cut short in July when he had an emergency appendectomy. On the eve of the 2017 season he left Kent by mutual consent with Cowdrey later saying that his "love for the game is gone, my heart's not in it". In April 2017 Cowdrey made his first appearance on BBC Radio Kent as a cricket commentator, covering Kent's match against Derbyshire at Canterbury and later in the year began writing for "The Cricketer".
