King’s School Rochester (KSR) is proud to announce a new five-year partnership with Kent Cricket, marking an exciting new chapter for youth cricket development in the county. Under the agreement, King’s School Rochester will become a Kent Cricket Development Centre for Kent Youth Pathway indoor training and outdoor cricket fixtures, providing young cricketers with access to outstanding facilities in a historic and inspiring setting.
