Taylor was born at Huntingdon in March 1996. He was educated at The Perse School, before going up to St Catherine's College, Oxford to study mathematics.[1] While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Cambridge University in The University Match at Cambridge in 2017.[2] From Oxford, Taylor went on to Clare College at the University of Cambridge to study for a doctorate in plant sciences.[3] While at Cambridge, Taylor played in the 2019 University Match for Cambridge,[2] scoring 59 runs in the Cambridge second innings, having been dismissed without scoring by Toby Pettman.[4] He was chosen to captain Cambridge for the 2020 season, which was disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England,[5] but did captain the university in its final Varsity Match with first-class status.[2]
