Chris Miller is Kendal's new First XI captain

Chris Miller has been appointed the new First XI captain at Kendal who have also announced the capture of one of the Northern League's leading batsmen while saying good-bye to an old favourite.

Miller, a regular in the Cumberland County set-up and consistently one of the most successful bowlers in the league takes over the skipper's role from Ross McMillan, the popular South African having combined his professional's role with that of captaincy.

With McMillan deciding not to return to Shap Road for another season, Kendal have turned to 22-year-old Miller who becomes perhaps the youngest captain in Northern League history.

Miller who captured 60 league wickets for Kendal in 2010 will be assisted by vice-captain Stu Parkin.

Meanwhile Kendal have announced the signing of leading opening batsman Jonathan Miles, also a regular in the Cumberland set-up.
The 19-year-old left-handed batsman joins the club from Barrow, having broken his own club amateur batting record in the Northern League with 878 runs at 46.21.
Miles is currently studying at university in Worcester and had been expected to join a club in the Birmingham League



Kevin Howarth has left Kendal after ten successful seasons

But long-serving all-rounder Kevin Howarth, a former Cumberland County representative has decided to retire from Northern League cricket due to family commitments.

Howarth played for Kendal for ten years, scoring 4,389 league runs at an average of 27.60 including three hundreds and taking 292 wickets at 18.74.

Meanwhile Kendal's new professional, New Zealand Test player Jamie How has been included in the final 15-man squad for the Black Caps' campaign.
How has also been chosen as back-up wicketkeeper, despite having had little experience in the role. Former Leyland and Preston pro Mark Greatbatch is one of the New Zealand selectors.

Paul Dodds has been chosen to captain Kendal's Second XI for the forthcoming Second Division campaign.
