Cricket Overview

Wanderers Australia’s teams –  “The Wanderers”, are designed to give individual players of all levels  the opportunity to be a part of an international cricket tour.

The  Wanderers” consists of local club and school players from across  Australia, and ALL abilities are welcome. It does not matter if you are  the star of your state team, or the 12th man at your local school or  club team…all have a place on a Wanderers Australia cricket tour!

Our players  range in ability from beginners to representative players from clubs and  schools in both city and country/regional areas. Teams are then  combined with exceptional coaches and managers who will accompany and  supervise the teams on tour. Many have a teaching background and  understand their role as an adult team leader on tour both on and off  the field.

Usually we  take one or two teams of boys on tour between 14 and 18, where we have  boys placed into a 1st XI and 2nd XI, which allows players to play with  and against players of their own level. The teams are picked on form on  tour, and players do move between teams at times as the tour progresses.  The standard of play is excellent, with our teams playing against top  school and club sides in the UK. The level would be equivalent to Green  Shield / Dowling Shield U16 rep cricket in Sydney/Melbourne or Bradman Cup country level for the juniors,  and just below grade level for the adult tour.

Some of the highlights of our Junior tour are:

• England/France: Visiting Lords,  Touring London, playing against local clubs and being hosted by them,  touring Manchester United’s Old Trafford, Visiting a Bat factory,  Touring such towns as Oxford, Bath, Canterbury, Birminham, Cardiff,  Brighton…Visiting the world war one battlefields on Northern France  where Australians featured, and touring Paris.

• West Indies: Visiting Barbados and its  great Bajan culture and passionate cricket, and stunning beaches, as  well as possibly Antigua, where you will play against village teams  where such greats as Richards, Ambrose and Richardson hailed from. As  well as this, you will be treated to all that LA has to offer including  Universal Studios, Hollywood and Disneyland

The tours are supervised by top coaches and managers, many whom are representative or state coaches.
