Oxford and Cambridge Universities cricket team

Combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities cricket teams were formed at intervals between 1839 and 1992, often playing against touring teams. Mostly the team consisted of students who were current members of either Cambridge University Cricket Club or Oxford University Cricket Club but there were four matches from 1874 to 1893 in which the Universities team was a Past and Present combination. The combined teams always held first-class status, unofficially at first and then officially from 1895.[1][2][3]
