Our Pathway is underpinned by a player identification and recruitment system that assists our search for talent and the transition of players into the Pathway from Clubs, Schools or other environments within Oxfordshire. By implementing a nomination process we ensure that our Pathway remains accessible and inclusive for Girls and Boys with the requisite potential and that the opportunity to recommend players for our pathway remains open to those within the cricket community.  More detailed information about the Pathway can be found on our website HERE

Our nomination process for this year is now open and we invite you to nominate your players of the greatest potential; those whose current performance is above their peers, those who you believe have the capability or capacity to represent Oxfordshire at Age group level and those whose development may be accelerated via the support of an organised structure. It is from these nominations that we shall invite players to attend the first phase of the Pathway that commences in the Autumn each year.

Player nominations should be submitted by a Club, School, Coach or Official and we ask that you please note the following information before nominating a player;

• • Players currently representing Oxfordshire Boys or Girls Age Groups will automatically be invited each forthcoming year. Please click here for a summary of the 2021 Pathway Squads.
  • Players who were deselected from a Pathway phase will automatically be invited back the following year to ensure that talent is recaptured. If you are unsure of an individual’s exit point, then please nominate the player.

• Players that are new to the system, have moved into the county, opted to exit the pathway or have progressed since their previous involvement within the pathway require nomination.

• To qualify for Oxfordshire a player must ordinarily either have been born in Oxfordshire, live in Oxfordshire, play club cricket in Oxfordshire, go to school in Oxfordshire or have represented Oxfordshire at County Age Group level the previous programme year.

• Nominated Girls must be born between 01/09/2003 and 31/08/2013 and nominated Boys between 01/09/2003 and 31/08/2013.

Please submit one response for each player you are nominating using the online form provided. All nominations MUST be received by Sunday 15th August 2021. We ask that you provide accurate information and that you obtain consent to share player, parent or guardian information before submitting. Please click here to NOMINATE A PAYER
