Umpiring career
Oxenford began umpiring in 1998, and made his first-class umpiring debut in 2001. He was appointed to the 12-man National Umpire Panel in 2003 and in 2007–08 was named as Cricket Australia's ICC International third umpire.[2][3][4]
His first Test match was in December 2010 between Sri Lanka and West Indies in Kandy, Sri Lanka.[2][5] He was selected as one of the twenty umpires to stand in matches during the 2015 Cricket World Cup.[6]
