Kent are "actively pursuing" the return of Tawanda Muyeye for Sunday's game with Leicestershire at Beckenham, a game they need to win to stand any realistic chance of qualifying for the knock-out stages in the Metro Bank.

Muyeye hasn't hit a ball in anger for the Manchester "Super Giants" in this year's 16.4, meaning his last competitive knock came when Kent lost to Middlesex in the Blast at Canterbury on July 16th, when he made 16.

The opener's unavailability for the defeat at The Oval was a talking point among fans, particularly given that Surrey were able to call on Dan Worrall and Tom Lawes, both of whom made pivotal contributions as the Brown Hatters comfortably defended 286 to win by 95 runs.
