Life and career
[edit]King was born in Canberra, and studied Classics at the Australian National University.[1] He completed an MA in Classical Languages and Literature at the University of Exeter, then gained a DPhil at Merton College at the University of Oxford.[2][1]
While studying at Oxford, King made two appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Cambridge University in The University Matches of 2009 and 2010.[3] In the 2010 fixture, King scored 189 runs opening the batting in the Oxford first innings for 611 for 5 declared, sharing in an opening partnership of 259 in 218 minutes with Sam Agarwal.
