OXFORDSHIRE can look forward to a return to normality after having next season’s provisional fixtures confirmed.

The county’s finest return to T20, 50-over and three-day action after National Counties Cricket Association (NCCA) competitions were cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Oxfordshire will have at least 11 matches across the three formats, starting with a T20 fixture against Buckinghamshire at Wormsley on April 18.

They have away games at Bedfordshire and Wales over the next five weeks, sandwiching a clash with Berkshire at Challow & Childrey.

They face the same opponents in 50-over matches, visiting Berkshire on June 13 before entertaining Wales and Bedfordshire at Banbury and Aston Rowant respectively.

Oxfordshire host Cheshire in their first three-day match at Banbury on July 25 to 27.

They visit Wiltshire and Dorset and host Berkshire at an unconfirmed location.
