From Producing England Captains to Losing First-Class Status: Oxford’s Cricket Story
England’s fixtures this summer include international cricket matches with New Zealand (3 Tests), India (5 T20 and 3 ODIs), Pakistan (3 Tests) and Sri Lanka (3T20 and 3 ODI). None of the visitors are scheduled to visit Oxford University’s Parks cricket ground or Cambridge University’s Fenner’s, whereas a few years back, international teams were regular visitors to at least one of these two university grounds.
Similarly, now, the English cricket season doesn’t commence with the county teams playing with the university sides as a custom. In fact, both Oxford University and Cambridge University have lost their first-class cricket status in the last few years, their grounds no longer play first class cricket matches and Lord’s has also removed the customary match between university sides from its schedule.
