ENGLAND IN SRI LANKA

One Day Series

November - December 2014

Sri Lanka is blessed with beautiful beches and an interior rich in history, culture and nature. Known as the ‘teardrop of India’, Sri Lanka nestles in the azure waters of the Indian Ocean and is a firm favourite with travelling supporters. A beguiling island with a rich and chequered past, you’ll find it hard to pick a highlight from the many fascinating sights and experiences you will encounter.

England play Seven One Day International’s in 21 days in Colombo, Hambantota and Kandy. Follow the complete series on our Grand Tour, or if time doesn't allow for a three week trip, join our Ceylon Itinerary featuring the final four matches.

Sporting Traveller holidays are all about quality and value for money. When travelling so far from home it’s great to know you'll be staying in first class hotels and looked after by experienced and highly professional tour managers. When it comes to the cricket, we are delighted to be joined by our ever popular and charismatic tour host, Bob Taylor.

Sri Lanka is one of the most popular and exotic locations on the ICC circuit and we hope you will join us in November.

Solo Travellers

Many of the people who join us on one of our holidays are travelling by themselves, so if you’re a solo traveller, rest assured that you’ll be with other like-minded people. On any given departure, you’ll find a mix of couples and friends travelling together, as well as other solo travellers. One of the great benefits of our trips is that they allow you to be independent but provide security and company whenever you choose.

The Social Side

Welcome drink receptions, cricket forum and tour dinners are planned to let you meet your fellow travellers, tour host and local tour manager in an informal and social setting. These popular gatherings allow you to debate England’s current performance, while your tour host Bob Taylor provides his own personal insight and analysis of the England team.
