James Tredwell - Cricketer

History:

James made his Kent debut in 2002 and was selected in the 16 man squad for the One Day Series in New Zealand in 2007 but did not play but gained plenty of invaluable experience. James played a key part in Kent getting to two finals in 2008, but with the team losing both and relegated the season was one of disappointments for all concerned.

During the winter season of 2009 -10 James made his debut in one day cricket and Test match cricket for England in Bangledesh.
