editNick Majendie was educated at Winchester College, where he played cricket for the school, and at Christ Church, Oxford, playing for Oxford University from 1961 to 1963.[2] A wicket-keeper and lower-order batsman, after appearing in a few matches for Surrey late in the 1963 season he was named by the Test player Colin Cowdrey as one of the most promising young players in England: "[he did] enough to raise every eyebrow, for nothing eluded him and his obvious class became apparent to all".[3] However, Majendie played no further first-class cricket after the 1963 season.
