Oxfordshire Cricket has named a 12-man squad for their final round National Counties Cricket Association (NCCA) T20 double-header against Bedfordshire, taking place this Sunday, 29th June 2025, at Luton Town & Indians Cricket Club.

With just two wins from six games, Oxfordshire face a must-win scenario. Victories in both fixtures against Bedfordshire are likely essential to secure a place in the Super 12 stage, with only three of the five teams progressing from Group 3. Even with two wins, Oxfordshire’s qualification hopes will depend on results from the final round of matches, set for Sunday 6th July.

The squad sees four changes from the team that faced Buckinghamshire. Pace bowler Tom Davis returns to bolster the bowling attack after missing the previous match. Oxfordshire-born George Baines is set to make his debut, replacing the unavailable Jacob Townsend. Luke Maslen is recalled to the side following impressive recent performances for Oxford Downs CC and the 2nd XI against Berkshire on Thursday, 26 June 2025. Seventeen-year-old leg-spinner Henry Welch, Oxfordshire’s leading wicket-taker last season, is back in the squad after completing his school exams. Arjun Ramkumar also returns, having missed the last two rounds of matches in the competition due to university commitments. Meanwhile, Ayush Patel retains his place at the top of the order after a strong debut two weeks ago.
