Clubs & School Cricket Tours to Antigua
They say that what an Antiguan can’t tell you about cricket isn’t worth knowing, and it’s certainly true that they live and breathe cricket here. This charming island, fringed with superb, white sand beaches and steeped with plantation-era history, is quite rightly a fantastic destination even if *gasp* you’re not into cricket; but if you are, you’re in for a real treat. With a cricketing heritage that boasts Sir Viv Richards, Sir Curtley Ambrose and Sir Richie Richardson at its heart, your club or school team are guaranteed the best of times on tour in Antigua, with ex-West Indies player Kenny Benjamin at the helm.
You’ll experience playing at some of the Caribbean’s best grounds (New Winthorp, Sir Vivian Richards, Liberta and Urlings to name a few) and be hosted by some of the most spirited cricketers you’ll ever come across. On your off days, there’s a huge variety of activities and excursions to enjoy, from snorkelling with stingrays, to exploring the island’s colonial past, to relaxing on one of its spectacular 365 beaches.
