Coaches’ Association Girls Under 17 Cricket Tour to India Expressions of Interest – April 2024.
Bruce Wood | August 29, 2023
The Coaches' Association (HKHDCCA), in partnership with Northern District Cricket Club, organises amazing overseas cricket tours, each of which have been highly successful. The joint partnership has conducted four previous Boys U/15 tours to Sri Lanka (2015), West Indies (2017), (northern) India (2019), and (southern) India (2023) – refer: https://bit.ly/HKHDCCA-overseas-tours-Reports
After months of planning and liaison with our experienced travel agents in India, Melsh Sports Tours, we are pleased to confirm that the Coaches’ Association and NDCC will be conducting an Under 17 Girls representative tour to northern India from 13 – 25 April 2024.
We plan to select a balanced team of 14 female players for this tour, playing 7 matches (5 x 40 overs, and 2 x T20s – one being a Day / Night fixture), against high quality opposition teams on premier cricket grounds in Delhi and Jaipur.
The team will also be treated to fantastic cultural and tourist attractions, including visiting the #tajmahal, attending an IPL match, etc. All the relevant information about the tour is contained in a folder at the above link, including the flyer, players’ draft itinerary, a letter from the tour organisers, and an Expression of Interest (EoI) form.
We have already had strong interest from the NDCC Brewer Shield players and other families; however, we are pleased to now invite Expressions of Interest from any U/17 female cricketers, including from outside the district, and also talented younger players. We anticipate a strong response to this amazing opportunity, so if we get enough EoI applications to form two Girls teams, we’ll strongly consider taking an U/17 representative team, and an U/16 Development team. If we end up taking two teams, the girls will travel together, stay in the same hotels, eat and socialise together.
The Coaches' Association / Northern District Cricket Club have a proven track record in delivering high quality overseas cricket tours. We are delighted to now be able to offer the same experience to female cricketers and their families.
If you have any questions, please contact Bruce Wood, President, Coaches’ Association / Tour Manager, on 0466 804 202; or Ron Woods, ICC High Performance (Level 3) accredited / NDCC Women’s Head Coach, on 0435 444 942.
Please read the relevant material in the folder and submit your Expression of Interest by 15 September 2023.
