Sawston & Babraham sign Henry Wilson from Histon and former Perse School pupil Nikhil Gorantla ahead of East Anglian Premier League title defence

Reigning Thurlow Nunn East Anglian Premier League champions Sawston & Babraham have made two additions ahead of the 2025 campaign.

The Rams, who have won three of the last four titles, have dipped into Onyx League Division One to bring in youngster Henry Wilson from Histon.

Wilson was sixth in the Division One run-scoring charts last term with his total of 665 runs from 14 innings at the crease.

Wilson’s return of three centuries was also a joint high in the league, while his knock of 170 in the eight-wicket victory over Southill Park was the biggest individual score of the campaign.

And he has been joined at Sawston & Babraham by Nikhil Gorantla.

The former Perse School pupil has previous East Anglian Premier League experience from a stint with Saffron Walden.

Gorantla, who played for South North Cricket Club in Northumberland last season, has had previous spells with the likes of Warwickshire II, Essex II, Worcestershire II and Leicestershire II.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that all-rounder Callum Guest has replaced Dan Heath as the new first-team captain.

Heath, who stepped down at the end of last season following six years in the position, has since been appointed skipper of the Rams’ second team for 2025.

Jake Ellis will lead the thirds, while Dom Cameron will captain the fourth side.
