Never been on a cricket tour? Here's what the week actually looks like.
Trippific Sports · 8 Sept 2026
A cricket tour is a week with a squad you may not have met yet. By the end of it, you'll have a group chat for life. Here's what to expect.
The squad
Squads are usually a mix of club cricketers, weekend players and a few who haven't played in years. We match opponents to the group, so every game is competitive.
The matches
Expect two games, sometimes three, on proper grounds with umpires and a scorer, and a drink with the opposition afterwards.
The days in between
Tours are paced so you can enjoy the place: sightseeing, beaches, good food and at least one free afternoon.
What to pack
- Your own bat, pads and gloves if you have them (we can arrange kit if not)
- Whites or coloured clothing, depending on the match
- Sunscreen and comfortable shoes
Friends and family
Non-players are welcome. They'll join the sightseeing and cheer from the boundary.
