We head down under for Episode 2.
Over the past few years, more and more Oxfordshire players have been heading to Australia after finishing age-group cricket.
New conditions, new people, new challenges, and a chance to grow both on and off the field. We’re joined by five players who are right in the middle of that experience: Julian, Conor, Dexter, Henry, and Alfie who also discuss their experiences and memories of the Oxfordshire Pathway.
