Oxfordshire Cricket has named a 12-player squad for their Second XI fixture against Wiltshire on Thursday 3rd July 2025.
The squad includes seven players who featured in the previous Second XI encounter against Berkshire, which ended with honours shared. Five new players have been added to complete the lineup, including 16-year-old Oliver Offwood, who is set to make his senior debut. He is joined by left-arm spinner Ben Lucking, also in line for his first senior appearance. Ethan Barksfield returns to the side for his first match of the season, having recently completed his A-Level examinations. George Baines and Henry Welch, who contributed to the First XI’s double victory over Bedfordshire on Sunday, are also included in the squad for this fixture.
The Second XI plays a vital role in player development, providing a competitive platform that bridges the gap between the youth pathway and senior cricket. It offers emerging talent the opportunity to gain valuable experience and push for First XI selection.
The first of two T20 matches is scheduled to begin at 11:00am.
