Kent head coach Adam Hollioake says the club brought in a faith healer to try and help rid them of injuries.<\/p>\n
The club has been plagued by injuries as they have been relegated in the County Championship and finished bottom of Division Two in the past two seasons.<\/p>\n
“We got a faith healer in over the winter, or a spirit healer,” Hollioake told The Cricketer. <\/p>\n
“I’m not sure what the exact title was, but we got someone to warden off the evil spirits.”<\/p>\n
An injury crisis in the bowling department last season resulted in two players coming in on loans and a total of three from overseas.<\/p>\n
The club have won just three County Championship matches in the past two seasons, including two in 2025.<\/p>\n
Kent have confirmed a “non-denominational geopathic surveyor” visited the club in the winter.<\/p>\n
“This visit was conducted to support the promotion of positive wellbeing ahead of the new season,” Kent said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“The club’s approach to player welfare and injury prevention remains firmly rooted in professional sports science, including its strength and conditioning programmes, medical support, physiotherapy, and carefully managed training schedules. <\/p>\n
“The visit did not replace, or have any influence over, any of these established practices.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kent head coach Adam Hollioake says the club brought in a faith healer to try and help rid…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":479283,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-479282","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=479282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/479282\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/479283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=479282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=479282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=479282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
