Fell was born at Stafford in May 1963, and was educated at the John Lyon School, before going up to Trinity College, Cambridge.[1] While studying at Cambridge, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against Essex at Fenner's in 1985. He played first-class cricket for Cambridge until 1987, making 25 appearances.[2] Playing as a batsman, he scored 963 runs at an average of 24.07 in his 25 matches for Cambridge, with a high score of 114.[3] This score, which was one of two first-class centuries he made, came against Sussex, while his other first-class century, a score of 109 not out came against Nottinghamshire.[4] He also made two first-class appearances for a combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities cricket team against the touring New Zealanders in 1986, and the touring Pakistanis in 1987.[2] In addition to playing first-class cricket while at Cambridge, he also made eight List A one-day appearances for the Combined Universities cricket team, making four appearances apiece in the 1985 and 1986 Benson & Hedges Cup,[5] scoring 112 runs with a high score of 44.[6]
