Born in Cookham Dean, Berkshire, Peter Sabine attended Marlborough College, where he captained the First XI and played at Lord's for Southern Schools and Combined Schools in 1960.[1] Writing in Wisden, E. M. Wellings described him as a commendable stroke-maker who played "positive, aggressive cricket".[2] He went up to Hertford College, Oxford, and played two matches for Oxford University in 1962 and 10 in 1963, when he was awarded his blue.

His highest score in first-class cricket was 56 against Surrey in 1963.[3] His best bowling return with his leg-spin was 4 for 56 against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), also in 1963.[4] Earlier in the season he had helped Oxford achieve their first first-class victory for two years when he made 50 not out and 42 and took 3 for 18 in the second innings against Nottinghamshire.[5]
