Warwickshire County Cricket Club’s squad set off in style to sunny Barbados this morning for their pre-season tour of the Caribbean - thanks to luxury coach provider Birmingham International Coaches.
Birmingham International Coaches delivered the team to Gatwick Airport, from where they flew off to the Caribbean at 5.00am this morning. The travel firm has just signed a new 2-year deal official travel partner deal with Warwickshire, which will mean that they will provide the transport for all Warwickshire 1st Team Away matches, in addition to other major events in which the Club are involved.
The travel firm, based at Tile Cross in Birmingham, has always had close links in Warwickshire, as well as other sporting clubs in the city such as Birmingham FC and Moseley Rugby Club.
Warwickshire are one of five First Class counties who have been invited by the Barbados Tourism Authority to take part in the CGI Twenty20 knockout competition – which opens with a game against Barbados XI under floodlights – followed by an ECB-style semi-finals and Final day.
Other games during the tour include a 2-day friendly mach against Essex, and Pro40 matches against Yorkshire and Derbyshire. The matches will be played at various grounds around the island, including at the famous Kensington Oval.
During their tour Warwickshire will also visit local schools, where the players will be involved in free coaching clinics.
The other First Class counties involved in the tour are Hampshire, Essex, Derbyshire and Yorkshire.
Darren Andrew, Sales Manager, Warwickshire County Cricket Club, said; "Birmingham International Coaches have a brilliant reputation for service, reliability and comfort. Our relationship with them stems back over two years but to forge a new two-year travel partnership with a coach provider such as this is really the icing on the cake".
Warwickshire return to the UK on Wednesday 30th March 2011. Warwickshire’s competitive season starts against Somerset at Taunton on Thursday 14th April in the LV County Championship.
