Matt Walker is head coach of the side, having been appointed in January 2017 following former coach Jimmy Adams' decision to return to the Caribbean. Walker played for Kent for 16 seasons and was previously batting coach at Essex. Walker's assistant coach is former South African international Allan Donald. Donald was initially appointed alongside Walker in 2017 but was unable to take up his role until the start of the 2018 season as he did not have a suitable level 3 coaching qualification to qualify for a work permit.
