Why go on tour to Barbados?
Simply put, Barbados is among the very best places to play cricket on the planet.

That love of the game means there are cricket pitches all over the island, including numerous high-quality facilities.
Smile have expert and well connected ground handlers across the island, who will make sure you have the right standard of opposition, an excellent playing surface, any officials you need, and refreshments where necessary.
Plus, our connections mean we can organisation once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to pay at the magnificent Kensington Oval, as well as other first-class venues.
Bajans love cricket and tourists always receive a warm welcome. You'll find fierce competitors off the field become hospitable friends off it.
