Team News - Oxfordshire Men v Wales NC 8th of June 2025
05/06/2025Oxfordshire Cricket has named the 12-man squad for their second-round fixture in the National Counties Cricket Association (NCCA) T20 competition, set for this Sunday, 8th June 2025, against Wales National County. After a hard-fought opener that ended with honours even against Berkshire, Oxfordshire are eyeing a strong performance as they look to gain ground in the competitive NCCA T20 Group 3. Four changes have been made to the squad as they aim to build momentum in their push for progression to the Super 12s stage. Freddie Smith returns to the top of the order in place of Harrison Ward who continues his campaign with Sussex CCC in the Vitality T20 Blast. In Ward’s absence, George Tait will once again lead the side as he did in the recent showcase fixture against Surrey CCC. Brothers Hayden and Tristan Rossouw are both available again and recalled, replacing Henry Rogers (Sussex CCC) and Arjun Ramkumar. Ramkumar is unavailable due to University commitments. International representation also impacts the squad this week, with Zach Lion-Cachet with the Netherlands for the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 series in Scotland. His place is filled by Sussex CCC batting all-rounder Danial Ibrahim, who featured in Oxfordshire’s T20 side last season and is set for his first appearance of 2025. Oxfordshire will be aiming for strong performances on Sunday as they continue their NCCA T20 campaign.
