Oxfordshire Cricket are pleased to announce the twelve player squad selected to represent the Oxfordshire Men over the early May Bank Holiday weekend.
After making the away trip down to St Just CC to face Cornwall in the opening round of the National Counties Cricket Association (NCCA) One Day Trophy, Oxfordshire will be looking to get some important points over the bank holiday week if they want to stay with a chance of reaching the quarter final stages of the competition. Oxfordshire will host Berkshire at Wormsley Estate on Sunday 4th May 2025, and will also host Devon at Abingdon Vale CC on Monday 5th May 2025.
Both of the twelve player squads selected are dominated by players who have progressed through the Oxfordshire Pathway and a nucleus representing clubs within the county. Tristan Rossouw is fit again following a hand injury sustained in the build up to the season and is recalled for both games, as is Freddie Smith who is available again and returns to the white ball side following a strong start to the season for Oxford Downs CC. Fellow Oxford Downs CC and Durham University student, Oliver Armstrong returns to the squad for the first time since making his debut against Herefordshire in the NCCA T20 competition in 2024. Thomas Rex replaces Olvier Armstrong in the squad to face Devon on Monday, returning to the side following a good performance in the opening game against Cornwall.
