Stamford School celebrates England U19 World Cup selection for Old Stamfordian Alex Green (OS 25)

Stamford School is celebrating another outstanding sporting achievement from Old Stamfordian Alex Green (OS 25), following his selection for the England Men Under 19s Cricket World Cup squad. The tournament gets underway next month across Namibia and Zimbabwe and represents a significant milestone in Alex’s rapidly accelerating professional career.

Alex’s international call-up caps an exceptional period of progression since the end of 2023. During this time, he has made his first-team debut for Leicestershire, signed his first professional contract with the county, and earned promotion within the club’s pathway system. Each step reflects consistent performance, technical development, and the trust placed in him by coaches at the highest domestic level.

Breaking into senior county cricket is a demanding transition, requiring adaptability, resilience, and sustained excellence under pressure. Alex’s ability to do so while continuing to advance through England age-group honours speaks to both his cricketing intelligence and his professional mindset. Selection for a World Cup squad is not a reward for potential alone, but a recognition of readiness to perform on the international stage.

Alex’s journey also highlights the strength of Stamford School’s sporting environment, which supports pupils in pursuing elite pathways without compromising academic focus. His development from school cricket to county and international recognition demonstrates what can be achieved through structured support, high expectations, and personal discipline.

Everyone at Stamford School is immensely proud of Alex’s achievements to date and looks forward to following his progress at the Under 19 World Cup and beyond. His success stands as a powerful example to current students of what sustained commitment and ambition can deliver.
