A Thriving Cricket Culture
Cricket is one of the great strengths of sport at Merchant Taylors’ School. The game thrives here – with more than 350 pupils participating across 19 squads and 17 teams regularly fielded on Saturdays.
Cricket is an experience afforded to everyone at Taylors’ where we celebrate the success of the batsman who scores a 100 in the D team as equally as his counterpart in the 1st team.
World-Class Facilities
Our cricket facilities are unmatched. The School boasts twelve high-quality grass squares – the most of any school in England – plus 10 artificial nets and 16 grass nets.
In 2024, we opened a world-class indoor cricket centre, which features five nets, four surfaces, a fielding area, and Merlyn bowling machines, enabling year-round training.
Many of these facilities are housed within the Julian Hill Cricket Centre, a purpose-built, multi-functional cricket training hub. Combined with our extensive outdoor provision, we offer an exceptional cricket environment whatever the weather, supporting players at every stage of their development.
