Sayers was born at Harrow in December 1978 and was educated at Millfield, before going up to Trinity Hall, Cambridge.[1] While studying at Cambridge played first-class cricket for Cambridge University, making his debut in 1999 against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge. He played first-class cricket for Cambridge University until 2001, making eleven appearances.[2] Playing as an all-rounder, he scored 103 runs in his eleven matches at an average of 11.44, with a high score of 46.[3] He had little success with his right-arm medium-fast bowling, taking just 2 wickets from 83 overs bowled which conceded 357 runs.[4] In 2001, Sayers also played three first-class matches for the then newly formed Cambridge UCCE side, appearing in their inaugural first-class match against Kent.[2][notes 1]
