The Cricketer Schools Guide 2025 names Shrewsbury in Top 100 senior schools

Shrewsbury School has been featured in the Top 100 Senior School in this year’s The Cricketer's Schools Guide.

This year's guide is a special 10^th anniversary edition and features the top 100 senior, top 50 prep/junior, top 20 all-girls schools for cricket and for the first time, the top 25 state schools.

We have been pleased to feature in this prestigious list multiple times over the years, as the cricket programme at Shrewsbury goes from strength to strength.

Director of Cricket at Shrewsbury School, Will Hughes said: “It is an honour to be included again and reward for all the hard work that everyone puts in to make Shrewsbury a top cricket school.

“It is down to the whole team: coaches, players, groundstaff and caterers. A huge thanks to everyone!”

The Cricketer magazine editor Huw Turbervill said: “Here at The Cricketer, we’ve covered the schools’ game since our inception in 1921, as part of our commitment to follow cricket at all levels.

“We’re proud of this coverage, and the 10^th anniversary of this guide recognises the fantastic cricket programmes that exist in school curricula up and down the country.

“One of the most phenomenal things about the last decade is seeing cricket usurp rounders as the sport for girls."
