Cricket is like a religion in Sri Lanka, a tropical island of welcoming hosts and rich cultural attractions.
Cricket is by far the most popular sport in Sri Lanka: it’s played in the streets, on the beaches and on any available piece of land. As an ex-British colony, the island has a rich heritage and passion for the game that the warm and welcoming locals love to share with visiting teams. As a predominantly Buddhist country, the Sri Lankans are great thinkers of the game and enjoy discussing it post match.
Touring teams find challenging cricket played in hot, humid conditions on first-class wickets, along with pristine beaches to relax on between fixtures. Our cricket tours to Sri Lanka present a unique chance to play at test venues such as the Asgiriya Stadium in Kandy, the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo and the Galle International Stadium.
Unforgettable excursions
Our school sports tours to Sri Lanka offer rich cultural experiences. Players can take an elephant ride through the Sri Lankan bush, visit the incredible World Heritage site, Sigiriya Rock Fortress, and make a trip to the Buddhist Temple of the Tooth, said to contain a tooth of the Lord Buddha. White water rafting is an adrenaline-fuelled way to see the island’s natural beauty.
