Arrivals On 30 September 2024, Kent announced the signing of wicket-keeper batsman Chris Benjamin from Warwickshire. Australian fast bowler returns from the end of May, after injury forced him to end his 2024 spell with Kent early. Ahead of Agar's arrival, Kent's overseas players will be pace bowlers Keith Dudgeon, from South Africa, and Pakistan international Kashif Ali. After taking 8 wickets on his debut, a 145-run win against Northamptonshire, Dudgeon sustained a knee injury that ended his stint at the club. Australian bowler Tom Rogers re-signed with the county to play in the T20 Blast for a second season. On 31 March 2025, Kent announced the signing of fast-bowling all-rounder Corey Flintoff (son of former England captain Andrew Flintoff) on a two-year rookie contract.
On 1 May, following a series of injuries, Kent signed Essex bowler Jamal Richards in loan for two matches. On 15 May, bowlers Jake Ball and Alfie Ogborne signed two-match loan deals from Somerset. Ogborne had played two matches on loan for Kent during the 2024 season, while Ball is a former England international.
On 1 August, Kent signed Pakistan-born leg-spinning all-rounder Mohammed Rizvi for the One Day Cup after a trial in the second XI.
