Oxfordshire v Oxford UCCE – Sunday 21st April 2024

Oxfordshire Cricket are pleased to announce the thirteen man squad selected to play against Oxford UCCE in a pre-season T20 double header on Sunday 21st April 2024 at The Wormsley Cricket Ground. The first game will commence at 11:00am with the second due to start at 14:30pm.

Oxfordshire have selected a squad with an average of just over twenty-three for the final game in preparation for the National Counties Cricket Association (NCCA) competition. Oliver Armstrong, Abhir Joshi and Danial Ibrahim are set to make their official debuts, with the latter able to play as a result of Oxfordshire’s prospering partnership with Sussex Cricket. Jonny Cater is available for this fixture and he replaces Callum Russell behind the stumps and returns to lead the side in place of Harrison Ward who deputised as captain in the opening preseason game. Jack Brooks returns to represent his home county and Luke Hayes is expected to recover from a finger injury sustained last weekend. Max Mannering is absent due to running the London Marathon and Prav Chahal will be leading the Oxford UCCE side against his own County. Tom Davis does not feature as he has been instructed to rest by Warwickshire. Tom Hinley and Danial Ibrahim are the two non-qualifying players out of a permitted three for this fixture. Rupert Evans (Head Coach) and Alan Duncan (Assistant Coach) continue as the coaching team, with Matthew Barnes acting as Match Manager/Coach for the game.

The selected squad is subject to any changes of availability before now and Sunday morning.
