Sports Tourism Ideas: Cricket Tours 2019/2020

It is not a secret that event and sports tourism attract more and more people who want to not only explore new destinations but also attend interesting games or performances. Even though cricket is not as popular as, let’s say, football, this game still has many devoted fans who like to watch cricket games on TV and support their favorite teams in person.

If an idea of traveling to a new place and attending tournaments or championships sounds attractive, here is the list of the upcoming cricket events in 2019 and 2020. All fans of this game know about main events, but it is always a good idea to repeat them. This time, the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup will take place in Australia. This is the main championship for the 2019-2020 playing season. The venues that will host main games were already announced. These are the Sydney Cricket Ground and Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Besides the main league, there is also the 2019-22 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 Tournament, so travelers have many countries to choose from. Consider booking a hotel in Singapore as it will also host a popular competition - the 2019-2020 Singapore Tri-Nation Series. This event brings together teams of three countries, namely, Singapore, Zimbabwe, and Nepal. This is a relatively short event that starts at the end of September and ends at the beginning of October. For tourists, it is a great opportunity to watch interesting games and explore the city of Singapore that is, without a doubt, a very interesting destination.

By the way, prepare to book hotels in Dubai and Abu-Dhabi because the United Arab Emirates will host several important events. In mid-October until the beginning of November, the UAE will host the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier. This is a qualifying event that determines teams that join the World Cup in Australia. Even though visitors are not likely to see the best cricket teams in the world, the competition is going to be intense.

Finally, it is important to mention the competition in March 2020 - the 2020 United States Tri-Nation Series. This is a competition between cricket teams of three nations – the United States, United Arab Emirates, and Scotland. It is not yet known what cities will host all games of this tournament. Of course, the finals of the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup in Australia are the event that everyone anticipates the most. The date of the grand finale is already known – November 15, 2020.
