Former England cricketer Derek Underwood has died aged 78.
Underwood made 86 Test appearances for England and is sixth in the country's all-time list of leading wicketakers.
The spin bowler spent the entirety of his county career with Kent and took 2,523 wickets across three decades.
"The Kent Cricket family is in mourning following the passing of one of its greatest ever players," the county's chair Simon Philip said.
"Derek was an outstanding contributor to both Kent and England, winning trophies for club and country and etching his name in the history books forevermore.
"Watching Derek weave his unique magic on a wet wicket was a privilege for all who were able to witness it. His induction into the ICC Hall of Fame shows the esteem in which he was held in world cricket.
"An advocate for growing our game worldwide whilst protecting our sport's rich heritage, Derek also made substantial contributions off the field as well as on it, and he will be sorely missed by everyone at Kent Cricket."
