Spirit of Cricket – Cricket For All Tour to Sri Lanka Ready to Shine in 2025
The much-anticipated Spirit of Cricket – Cricket For All Tour is gearing up for an unforgettable journey to Sri Lanka in February 2025. Building on the success of the inaugural New Zealand Tour in 2024, the tour promises an exciting blend of cricket, camaraderie, and cultural exploration.
Leading the team once again will be Mark Kratzmann, the captain who steered the ship so successfully in New Zealand. Kratzmann’s leadership and passion for the game make him the perfect choice to guide the team on this international adventure.
"It’s an incredible honour to captain this side once more," said Kratzmann. "The Spirit of Cricket embodies everything we love about the game—bringing people together, celebrating the sport, and creating lifelong memories. I’m thrilled to lead such a talented and diverse group of players."
The touring party will feature a mix of familiar faces and fresh talent:
Five original tourists from the New Zealand tour will return to don the Spirit of Cricket colours once more.
Six debutantes are set to make their first appearance on the team, bringing fresh energy and enthusiasm.
Aman Akbar from the USA returns, alongside Hemant Athavia, who are making their way to Sri Lanka for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The team of 20 includes four partners attending for the first time, making the tour a true celebration of cricket and community.
The itinerary includes five high-quality games, four against local representative teams, and one against the Australian O50's team as they prepare for the World Cup. The team will be showcasing the Spirit of Cricket’s commitment to playing hard but fair. With 5-star accommodation, all meals included, and the stunning backdrop of Sri Lanka, the tour is set to be an unforgettable experience for players and supporters alike.
Anthony Telfer, the driving force behind the Spirit of Cricket initiative, shared his excitement: "This tour is about more than just cricket. It’s about creating bonds, exploring a beautiful country, and sharing the love of the game with others. Sri Lanka is the perfect destination to continue our journey whilst engaging with the IMC O50's World Cup."
With its unique blend of high-quality cricket, cultural immersion, and luxury travel, the Spirit of Cricket Tour to Sri Lanka promises to be a highlight of 2025.
