ITC Sports Travel (www.itcsports.co.uk) has launched new tours to follow all the action as England's cricketers travel to the Caribbean to take on the West Indies in a series of One Day Internationals. Matches will be played in both Antigua and Barbados in March 2017.

Two packages are available – the Cricketer Tour or the Platinum Tour, with both trips running from 28th February – 11th March 2017. The Cricketer Tour starts from £6,495 per person based on two adults sharing. This price includes six nights' accommodation at Blue Waters in Antigua on an all-inclusive basis, followed by five nights in Barbados on a room only or bed and breakfast basis at a choice of three hotels.

Guests on the Platinum Tour will spend their first six nights at Carlisle Bay in Antigua with daily breakfast and afternoon tea included; followed by five nights at The Fairmont Royal Pavilion in Barbados on a bed and breakfast basis. Platinum Tours start from £8,795 per person based on two adults sharing.

Both packages include return economy class flights, cricket match day transfers, airport and hotel transfers, commemorative merchandise and the services of a tour host who will accompany the groups. There are also plenty of opportunities for guests to get to know their fellow cricket fans with welcome drinks, one lunch in Antigua, one lunch in Barbados and a farewell dinner also included. A further highlight of the programme for both groups is ITC's ever-popular State of Play evening, where guests enjoy an entertaining review of the day's play with their hosts and fellow guests one night in Antigua. Barbados-born former England cricketer Gladstone Small will join guests at the State of Play evening to give his expert opinion on the ODI series.

Jamie Smith, sports brand manager with ITC Sports Travel comments “Cricket is our first love at ITC Sports and the Caribbean was the first destination ITC Luxury Travel offered when it began as a tour operator in 1974, so West Indies cricket tours are always a highlight of our programme. They combine our years of expertise and passion with great weather, incredible locations and of course, plenty of action and entertainment on the pitch.”

Premium cricket tickets to the three ODI matches are guaranteed and will be charged at cost price to clients once these are released by the venues.
