March 2020
Join our luxury escorted cricket tour to see England play two Test matches against Sri Lanka – the 1st Test will be at the iconic Galle International Cricket Stadium and the 2nd will be at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
During England’s tour of Sri Lanka, 2019 County Champions, Essex CC will be touring in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates, and then on to Sri Lanka for the Champion County match against the MCC, to be played immediately after the 1st Test match at the same iconic Galle International Cricket Stadium. If you wish to see Essex CCC and/or the MCC in action, please click here for details of our escorted tours to these matches.
Located in the Indian Ocean, just below the southern tip of India, the tropical island nation of Sri Lanka is a real hidden gem! The people are wonderfully warm and hospitable, the beaches are beautiful, the sightseeing unique (there are an incredible eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites) and the cricket is always competitive. It really is a wonderful destination.
