County Youth Cricket: A Blueprint

[Neil Pickup]

Have any of the guys from the early Pickup era gone on to bigger and better things?

Jordan Garrett

He made his Gloucestershire 2nd XI debut this summer aged 14 against Surrey II - making 50 in his first innings.
He also made an unbeaten double-century in an U17 Championship fixture last week.
Hopefully will be named in the England U15 Performance Squad later this summer.

Do you know when they name the squad Neil? Kid from our club went to the Bunbury festival couple of weeks ago and bowled well.

Edit: Looks like our kid (Jack Bruce) got your guy out. http://escabunbury.play-cricket.com/view_results_details?id=12054217 Both did well though.

Just did that bit of research myself! Not sure when the squad is named, though. Can't be too long.

Thats just brilliant progress, hopefully he will kick on again

This year we have three Oxfordshire players in the Bunbury squad for the first time ever - this is my 2010 side coming of age (see previous posts).

This week, one of these boys is making his debut for Gloucestershire 2nd XI (he is 1* overnight with the task of saving the match against Glamorgan ahead of him) whilst another made his debut for Oxfordshire's senior side, making 109* in a win over Herefordshire to possibly become the youngest ever centurion in the history of the Minor Counties Championship.

Future's bright.

Today we have two lads from the Oxfordshire system (Charlesworth and Ward) both playing for England U19, live on Sky Sports. A long journey, and one that’s still only really beginning, but everyone in Oxfordshire is hugely proud today.
