The Nigeria ICC International side play in the city on Sunday when they take on the CCM (Cricket Coach Master) Academy at the Oxford University Sports Ground, Marston (11am).
The match came about because academy coach Gary Palmer will hold coaching sessions with Nigeria.
“I don’t know very much about them, but I’m told they are a better batting side than a bowling side,” he said.
“I would imagine Nigeria are as good as most Minor Counties teams. They will have played against more experienced cricketers, but we have done a lot of training.”
Oxfordshire Under 17s wicket-keeper Josh Smith, who goes to Abingdon School, is set to line up for the academy, which is based at Cheam School, near Newbury.
