Berkshire Cricket Talent Pathway
Monthly Update – June
June was a busy and productive month for the Berkshire Cricket Talent Pathway, with a strong programme of County Age Group (CAG) cricket across multiple age groups. Players continued to develop through competitive fixtures and representative opportunities, while the partnership with Hampshire Cricket remained a key feature of the pathway’s success.
Team Highlights
Several standout team performances were recorded during June:
- Girls Under 18s currently sit top of their T20 and 50 Over groups
- Girls Under 14s are through to the Quarter Final of the 50 over cup, facing Surrey later in July
- Boys Under 10-Under 12 internal programme ramped up with a number of T20 matches, these players will now move into longer format games by playing against each other in 30 over matches
- Boys U16s made an impressive start to their ECB competition campaign, securing a six-wicket victory against Somerset.
- Boys U14s produced a dominant display against Wiltshire, recording a 120-run victory.
These results reflected the hard work and commitment shown by players and coaches throughout the programme.

During June, the following Berkshire boys players represented Hampshire’s pathway programme:
