White Post Road (also known as Banbury Cricket Club Ground) is a cricket ground in Bodicote, Oxfordshire.
Banbury Cricket Club originally played in Banbury at Grange Road, but the Banbury Recreational Trust sold the ground to a housing developer. The Trust moved the cricket club to a new ground close by at White Post Road in the neighbouring village of Bodicote, with the new ground being ready for the 1996 season.[1] Oxfordshire first played minor counties cricket there against Dorset in the 1997 Minor Counties Championship.[2] Oxfordshire later played two List A one-day matches there against Herefordshire in the 1st round of the 2003 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy (played in 2002) and the Lancashire Cricket Board in the 1st round of the 2004 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy (played in 2003).[3] As of, Oxfordshire continues to play national counties (formerly minor counties) fixtures at the ground,[2] having also played NCCA Knockout Trophy and National Counties T20 matches there.
