Mission Mumbai Accomplished!

Mission accomplished! The tour to Mumbai and the World Cricket Academy was an overwhelming success.  Although the focus of the tour was cricket, the tour party enjoyed a wonderful, unique cultural and social experience as well.

India hit us for six!  Our senses were close to overload, the sights, the noises, the smells, the colours etc.  We were all mesmerised by what Mumbai had to offer.  We marvelled at the culture of near misses as we travelled around in our taxis.

The cricket Facilities at WCA were first-class, and the coaching drills were imaginative and focussed.  All the boys profited from the coaching and were able to pit their skills against local teams in limited over games.  Although we only won one game, we were never outplayed.  Our opponents were used to the exhausting and trying conditions, and were also older and more experienced than our boys. 

We returned to England richer for the experience, not just as cricketers but also as more rounded human beings.  Not one of us would have missed the tour for the world.
