There’s something about a cricket tour. The buzz. The bonding. The sunburn. The questionable team songs after day two. If you’ve done one, you know exactly what we’re on about. And if you haven’t? Well — let’s fix that.
At Burleigh Travel, we’ve been planning cricket tours for over two decades. Hundreds of them. All over the UK, Europe and far beyond. And while we’ve seen our fair share of textbook cover drives and very questionable lbw appeals, one thing always stands out: how these tours bring teams together in a way no fixture list ever could.
Whether you’re a club side looking for a pre-season shakeout, a school cricket tours side chasing overseas experience, or a group of mates who enjoy the game as much as the post-match pint — we’ll help you build a cricket tour that actually delivers.
Tailored Tours – No Copy-and-Paste Itineraries Here
We’re not here to hand you a pre-packaged tour with a name slapped on it. Every team we work with is different — in age, ability, attitude, and appetite for action. So we build everything around you.
Want warm-up games against local sides? Sorted. Need age-appropriate, no-nonsense accommodation for a school group? Easy. Touring with older lads who want to squeeze in a few beers and beach days between matches? Say no more.
The goal is simple: cricket you’ll enjoy, logistics you don’t have to worry about, and a location that suits the vibe. We work with you to pick a destination, arrange your fixtures, line up the travel, and chuck in some optional excursions if you want to explore beyond the boundary rope.
Destination Spotlight – From Malta to the MCG
Here’s the beauty of cricket tours — the world’s your playground.
Closer to home? The Netherlands and Malta are tour favourites. Decent weather, good opposition, and the kind of hospitality that turns a fixture into a festival.
Fancy pushing the boat out? South Africa’s a stunner. Incredible scenery, strong cricket culture, and unforgettable off-field experiences. Australia? Absolutely — but be warned, you’ll need to bring your A-game (and your sun cream).
Every destination we offer is tried and tested. We know the standards of local opposition. We know what kind of accommodation actually works for teams. And we know how to plan around weather, flight times, budgets, and all the stuff that makes or breaks a good tour.
Our Team Knows the Game
Here’s something you don’t always get with tour providers: people who actually understand cricket. Our coordinators don’t just book hotels and call it a day. A fair few have played, captained, or coached at a serious level — so when we say “we get it,” we mean it.
We know how important the opposition level is. We know what kind of pitches work best for your squad. And we know that while your star bowler wants to hit form before county trials, your No.11 might be more excited for the hotel buffet and the boat trip.
That balance is everything — and it’s what we’re good at.
School, Club, Uni or Armed Forces? We’ve Got You
Our cricket tours aren’t just for one type of team. We’ve built trips for:
- National cricket associations
- Professional and semi-pro senior teams
- Universities and colleges
- Club teams and Sunday sides
- Military squads looking for a break with a bat
Whatever your lineup looks like, we’ll make sure your tour fits — both on and off the pitch.
Final Thoughts – Make This Season the One You Tour
There’s no shortage of reasons to plan a cricket tour. Maybe you want to sharpen up pre-season. Maybe you want to celebrate a big anniversary. Or maybe, just maybe, you want to give your team a week they’ll talk about for years to come.
Whatever your motivation, a cricket tour is the kind of decision that always ends up feeling like a great one. And when it’s professionally planned, well-balanced, and built around your squad’s needs? Even better.
So, fancy trading a wet weekend fixture for something with a little more sunshine? Want to build memories and momentum heading into next season?
