Banbury Have Been Handed A Major Boost After Hayden Rossouw, Dexter Ainley & Sam Hicks Signed For The White Post Road Outfit.
The Home Counties Premier Cricket League, Division One side announced the triple addition over the past few weeks.
Rossouw has opted to head up the M40 after a number of years of success in Aston Rowant colours.
The dominant all-rounder has developed himself into one of the leading players in Oxfordshire in recent years, and has become integral to club and county success, with both bat and ball.
The left-handed batter has performed with aplomb at National Counties level and currently has an average of 50.66 for Oxfordshire, including one hundred and three fifties in the Championship format.
Banbury have also moved to sign the highly talented, and very promising left-arm spinner Dexter Ainley from Cherwell League neighbours Cropredy.
Ainley has impressed in the Oxfordshire pathway and is currently in Australia playing his club cricket for Brighton, based in Victoria.
The third new player to switch to Banbury is Sam Hicks, who joins from Cherwell League side Witney Mills.
The 17 year old is one of the most exciting young seam bowling all-rounders in the County, having already debuted for Oxfordshire Men’s 2nd XI in 2025.
With 76 Cherwell League wickets already to his name, Banbury have one eye on the future with Hicks joining.
After playing for Banbury U17s and 19s last season, he now makes the move permanent.
All three players will strengthen the Banbury side as they look forward to the 2026 campaign and beyond.
