Are you interested in playing cricket in England or the West Indies in winter 2008?  Read this article to find out more.
 
Wanderers Australia has been involved in sending over 1500 Australians on tour all over the world during the last 10 years in cricket, hockey and soccer.
 
Wanderers Australia puts together individual players of all levels from across Australia, that form touring squads and tour international cricketing destinations each off season, playing against local schools and clubs.

We take away a squad of 26 players and have a 1st Xi and 2nd XI so players can play with and against their own level and ability. Usually players are the only person from their club, association or even town that are a part of the tour. Teams are then combined with excellent coaches and managers who accompany the tour throughout.

THERE ARE NO SELECTIONS. TEAMS ARE FILLED ON A FIRST COME FIRST IN BASIS ! All abilities are most welcome.

The object of the tour is to meet new people from across Australiawithin your team, meet new people in the countries that you visit and play against, see the world, but also return a more confident player and person as a result of being involved in such an opportunity.

Below is a summary of our tours for next winter:
