Elliott was born at Epsom in November 1991. He was educated at Tonbridge School, before going up to Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge.[1] While studying at Cambridge, he played first-class cricket for both Cambridge University and Cambridge MCCU from 2012 to 2014.[notes 1] He made five appearances for Cambridge MCCU and three appearances for Cambridge University in The University Match against Oxford.[2] He scored 306 runs in his eight appearances at an average of 23.53.[3] He made one century, making 101 against Oxford in the 2013 University Match, with his score the second highest in the match after Oxford's Sam Agarwal made 313.[4] Elliott fared better against Oxford than the county opponents he faced playing for Cambridge MCCU.[3] In addition to playing cricket for Cambridge, he was also the university rackets captain, for which he gained a blue.[5]
