I play for Rothley Park cc in the Leics Prem which is near to Loughborough. Its a brilliant university and they are forever spending millions on it. The cricket facilities are ridiculous as you'd expect!
We have had 3 students play with us this year, one of which plays for the MCCU. He is a Kenyan international so that is the level we are talking about if you are wanting to push into the top teams there. What I would say is that there will be a lot of silly good cricketers there, with very limited spaces in the uni teams. We often benefit from this as we pick up players missing out in the selection process who are very capable of playing premier league cricket.
Gimmie a shout if you want to know more
