Shrewsbury School named in the Top 100 of UK's best schools for Cricket

Shrewsbury School is delighted to be named in The Cricketer’s School Guide for 2023 as one of the UK’s best schools for cricket.

This year’s guide features the top 100 senior, top 50 prep/junior and top 20 all-girls schools for cricket in a bumper 156-page supplement.

Will Hughes, Master I/C of Cricket at Shrewsbury, said: “We are delighted to be included in The Cricketer’s Schools Guide Top 100 cricket schools in the country.  It is a real honour and is testament to all the hard work put in by pupils and staff over the past year.”

2023’s successful roll call of schools – which features both state-funded and private establishments – was finalised after an exhaustive selection process that saw a huge number submit entries for inclusion in the guide.

All entries were judged against an extensive set of criteria, which included a compelling commitment to cricket in the curriculum, facilities, fixture programmes and coaching.

The Cricketer gathered entries and compiled the leading lists, consulting former England star Lydia Greenway and her coaching initiative Cricket For Girls to select the top 20 all-girls schools.

The 2023 Schools Guide is included alongside the December issue of The Cricketer magazine (available on the newsstand from Friday, November 18^th) - the world’s No.1 cricket magazine. The guide will also be made available digitally on thecricketer.com from Friday, December 9^th.
