History

Banbury Cricket Club originally played in Banbury at Grange Road, [n 1] but the Banbury Recreational Trust sold the ground to a housing developer. The Trust moved the cricket club to a new ground close by at White Post Road in the neighbouring village of Bodicote, with the new ground being ready for the 1996 season. [3] Oxfordshire first played minor counties cricket there against Dorset in the 1997 Minor Counties Championship. [4] Oxfordshire later played two List A one-day matches there against Herefordshire in the 1st round of the 2003 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy (played in 2002) and the Lancashire Cricket Board in the 1st round of the 2004 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy (played in 2003). [5] As of 2023, Oxfordshire continues to play national counties (formerly minor counties) fixtures at the ground, [4] having also played NCCA Knockout Trophy and National Counties T20 matches there.

Christ Church Ground is a cricket ground in Oxford, England. The ground is owned by Christ Church, a constituent college of the University of Oxford. Owing to the University Parks being on public land where an admission charge could not be levied, the privately owned Christ Church Ground was the preferred venue in Oxford for matches where a gated admission was to be levied on spectators, typically in matches between Oxford University and a touring international team. The ground operated as a first-class cricket venue from 1878 to 1961, hosting 37 first-class matches. After 1961, the University Parks became the preferred venue for all first-class matches in Oxford, but it remained in use in minor counties cricket by Oxfordshire until the start of the 21st century. Today the ground is used by the Christ Church Cricket Club.
