Hogg subsequently established himself as Lancashire's opening bowler in first-class cricket alongside captain Glen Chapple.
In the one-day side, he constantly opened the bowling and felt he produced consistent performance for the first time in his career.
[10][11] In May 2007 Hogg signed a four-month loan deal with Worcestershire to act as cover for injured seam bowlers Roger Sillence and Matt Mason.
[13] In June injuries to Lancashire's squad meant that Hogg returned to the club before the conclusion of his four-month contract.
[17] Despite injuries, Hogg struggled to secure a place in Lancashire's first team, and in July 2007 moved to Nottinghamshire on loan for a month to bolster their injury-hit squad.
Hogg was pleased with his performance on the tour, however a broken bone in his right hand meant he missed the first two weeks of county cricket back in England.
Batting at number 10, he helped Lancashire avoid the follow-on and left the ground to a standing ovation from the Old Trafford crowd.
[25] He missed the start of the 2011 season after sustaining a muscle tear in Lancashire's final pre-season warm-up match.
[27] When not sidelined with injury, Hogg was competing with Sajid Mahmood, Farveez Maharoof, Oliver Newby, and Tom Smith for a place in the team.
[28] His first appearance of the season was on 16 May in Lancashire's CB40 defeat to Somerset in which he conceded 63 runs from six overs, taking a single wicket.
[32] When Lancashire faced Yorkshire in the County Championship in July, Hogg scored a half-century and took a five-wicket haul to help his team to victory in the Roses match, reaching 150 first-class wickets in the process.
One of three bowlers to take at least 50 wickets in the County Championship for Lancashire that year, Hogg contributed to the club winning the competition for the first time since it shared the title with Surrey in 1950.
In addition to his role with Lancashire Kyle also linked up with ex teammate Andrew Flintoff to help coach a team of wayward teenagers in the BBC documentary series Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams, giving hope to the lives of lads searching for purpose in the Preston region.
