Kent's Chief Executive Michael Wilshaw reflects on his first season in charge, in an exclusive interview for The Spitfire ...

Overall, how did your first season go?

It's been an incredibly intense and rewarding first season, reinforcing both the scale of the opportunity at Kent Cricket and the ambition we have for the club. I've learned a lot about the club, its people and the wider cricket landscape. On the field, we've seen some really encouraging progress; our Men's County Championship campaign was a significant achievement, and Kent Women reaching the semi-finals of both white-ball competitions demonstrated the progress being made across our cricket programmes.
