Keey was born at Johannesburg in December 1969. He emigrated to England as a child, where he was educated at Harrow School, before going up to Keble College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against Worcestershire at Oxford in 1992. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1993, making a total of seventeen appearances.[2] In his seventeen matches for Oxford, he scored a total of 612 runs at an average of 24.48. His highest score of 111, which was his only first-class century, came against Northamptonshire in 1993.[3][4] He also made a single first-class appearance for a combined Oxford and Cambridge Universities cricket team against the touring Pakistanis in 1992.[2] In addition to playing first-class cricket while at Oxford, he also made a single List A one-day appearance for the Combined Universities cricket team against Hampshire in the 1993 Benson & Hedges Cup,[5] during which he was dismissed for a single run by Shaun Udal.[6]
