UK Competitive Cricket Tour for Young Players
This is not a holiday. Our two-week UK tour places young cricketers on real English grass wickets to face 10 competitive matches against established local clubs.

This is the detailed itinerary for our 2025 UK tour. We play ten matches in two weeks, a demanding schedule that tests player fitness and builds the mental toughness required for a career in cricket.
About Featured
Playing 10 games in 14 days against tough UK club sides forces a player to adapt quickly. You aren't just learning to play against swing bowling on green tracks; you are learning how to manage your energy, your hydration, and your focus when the weather changes mid-over. This schedule is designed to test your mental toughness as much as your technique.
Real Conditions, Real Growth
English cricket conditions are completely different from what our boys face at home. We play on actual grass wickets where the ball moves differently and the overcast weather requires a different kind of patience. This is where you learn to leave the ball, wait for the right moment, and build an innings.
The Schedule
We do not pad the itinerary with filler activities. We play 10 matches in two weeks across various UK clubs. It is a grind, but that is the point. When you are tired, when the pitch is damp, and when the opposition is bowling well, that is when you find your true character as a cricketer. We play both 40-over and T20 formats to ensure exposure to different game demands.
My Mentorship
I am with the team for every match. My job is to observe the boys in real-time. I provide guidance between overs, analyze their approach during breaks, and push them to find that fighting spirit, or 'vijigishu vrutti', when the game gets tight. We also arrange interactions with cricket legends like Farokh Engineer to ensure players get insights they cannot find in any book.
Everything Managed
The focus should be on cricket, not travel logistics. We handle all visa documentation, return flights, 3-star hotel accommodations, and nutritious meals at trusted Indian restaurants. The only thing the players need to bring is their focus and their kit bag.
