He won the Morris Cup for the best all-rounder and broke the School record by claiming 62 wickets in one season. He was also a competent field hockey player.[2] He later studied at Magdalene College, Cambridge.[3]

While studying at Cambridge, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against Leicestershire at Fenner's in 1977.
