Cox was born at Guildford in August 1967. He was educated at Bradfield College.[1] Cox had been associated with the Hampshire Second XI since 1986, with him having to wait to make his first-class debut in 1990, against Sussex at Arundel in the County Championship.[2] This came as a result of David Gower and Robin Smith being otherwise engaged playing Test cricket for England against India.[1] Against Worcestershire two-weeks later, he made what would be his only first-class century, with a score of 104 not out in an unbeaten fifth wicket partnership of 161 with Tony Middleton.[3] Cox's position in the Hampshire side was largely dependent on the absence of Gower and Smith, thus his appeared infrequently for Hampshire;[1] he made nineteen appearances in first-class cricket and fifteen in List A one-day cricket prior to his release at the end of the 1994 season.[2][4] Cox was captain of the Hampshire Second XI, and was seen by some as a successor to Mark Nicholas as Hampshire captain.[1] In first-class cricket, he scored 605 runs at an average of 24.20,[5] while in one-day cricket he scored 83 runs at an average of 8.30 and a high score of 23 not out.[6]
