Zak Crawley signed a one-year contract extension with Kent to remain at the club for an 11th season. The England and Wales Cricket Board did not renew the central contract of Crawley.
Crawley has not featured in a Test match since the final game of last winter's Ashes tour in Sydney. His last appearance for England occurred during a one-day international in Sri Lanka in January.
During the current season, Crawley played in 12 County Championship matches for Kent and scored 608 runs. He recorded four half-centuries this season, with a top score of 89.
Kent won promotion back to Division One following his contributions. Since making his debut in 2017, Crawley has made more than 180 appearances in all competitions for Kent.
The batter has played in 64 Tests and nine ODIs for England. "It's an exciting time as we head back into Division One of the County Championship and I'm looking forward to the challenge of competing for Kent this coming summer," Crawley said.
Simon Cook described Crawley as an extremely talented batter and a huge presence in the dressing room. Cook added, "His experience of playing around the world not only benefits us on the field, but he is always willing to pass on his knowledge to our younger batters, something that will benefit us in the long term."
"It's an exciting time as we head back into Division One of the County Championship and I'm looking forward to the challenge of competing for Kent this coming summer," Crawley said.
