Loughborough MCCU are one of six MCCU teams in Britain, and are considered [[first-class cricket|first-class]] when playing against other first-class sides. This means that a game against another university would ''not'' be considered first class; one against a county side which holds first-class status would. The cricket coaching was overseen by assistant coach and former [[Test cricket|Test]] opening bowler [[Graham Dilley]] being Loughborough’s head coach, until his death in 2011, in charge of the technical programme. He was assisted by coaching support which has recently included [[Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club|Nottinghamshire]]’s [[Paul Johnson (cricketer)|Paul Johnson]] ([[Batting (cricket)|batting]]) and [[Chris Read]] ([[wicket-keeping]]). Dilley is assisted by: a director of cricket for development monitoring and academic mentoring; a fitness advisor experienced with both county clubs and ECB; a sports psychologist; a physiotherapist working with the squad on physical screening, injury prevention regimes and remedial treatment; and a range of additional generic sports science and sports medicine back-up on the Loughborough campus.<ref name="AMCCU"/>
Since obtaining first-class status in 2003, the university has produced a large number of cricketers who have obtained professional county contracts, while others such as [[Monty Panesar]] have gone on to play international cricket.<ref name="WMCCU">{{cite web|url=http://www.loughboroughmccu.com/ucce/what-mccu|title=What is a MCCU?|publisher=www.loughboroughmccu.com|accessdate=17 August 2011|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008133059/http://www.loughboroughmccu.com/ucce/what-mccu|archivedate=8 October 2011|df=}}</ref>
