All-rounder Darren Stevens, 45, was Kent's leading wicket-taker last season. Some have used him as an example of a county archetype - demonstrating the difference in standard between first-class and Test cricket.
"I suppose it just grates on you a little bit, but it's interesting because I'll get mentioned about these pitches early season, yeah fine," said Stevens on The Sports Desk.
"I'm going to lick my lips at a greentop and I'm bowling 20 overs, but that's my job."
Stevens also questioned the priorities of English cricket.
"If it's pride and wanting the Ashes back then they've got to start moving some four-day cricket into the middle of the summer," Stevens added.
"There's a lot of flawed techniques out there but why is that? It's white-ball cricket.
"They want to be going at five, six an over in 50-stuff, they want to be going at 10, 12 an over in Twenty20 and 100-ball stuff.
"So going from that and jumping back into four-day cricket, it ain't gonna work."
