Guy Croxford (born 2 June 1981) is a Zimbabwean former cricketer.[1] He played thirteen first-class matches between 2000 and 2003.[2]

Biography

Croxford belongs to a cricketing family. His father was an opening bowler and his elder brother was a wicket-keeper batsman before a car accident ended his cricket career.[3]

Croxford's initial cricket exposure came from his father's coaching, and he later learned his skills at Lilfordia School and Falcon College, scoring several centuries.[3] While he used to bowl, he decided to focus more on batting, labelling himself as a part-time bowler.[3]

Croxford was a consistent national age-group team member during his school years.[3] His notable performances include scoring 168 runs against Border during the Under-14 tour to Potchefstroom and a century against Holland at the Under-15 World Cup in England.[3] His highest score in any class of cricket was 168.[3]

After school, he worked for his mother's flower export business during a gap year.[3] He joined the CFX Academy in 2001 after a last-minute vacancy.[3]
