A Page From SportzTank India’s Diary Of The West Indie’s

One of the player’s from the West Indies Tour by SportzTank India wrote an exquisite chronicle of their stay;

SportzTank India Thunders completed the 12 days Caribbean Cricket Friendship cup with flying colors. Fun, Adventure, Excitement, Bonding and some serious Cricket at the world renowned grounds were the main ingredients of the Tour. Trip started on 11th September from Mumbai and the team was flown down to Trinidad and Tobago to live their dreams!!!

You can’t start the tour of beautiful islands of Trinidad and Tobago without visiting some of the mesmerizing beaches and that’s how the team rejuvenated after a long flight 

And here the excitement begins- on 13th Sept, the team geared up for the first match against Cosmos Cricket Club at Powergen Cricket Ground in the presence of Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Association Chairman and CEO of Powergen Cricket Club. It was a wonderful experience to play at the Turf and with the home team. We carried the rich experience from the first game and realized the love of local players towards Cricket! They were amazing!!! 

We can’t miss the Caribbean Premier League matches especially when it’s happening in the  Cricket loving country- Trinidad. Team witnessed one of the most exciting Caribbean Premier League matches between Trinidad Knight Riders and Guyana Amazon Warriors at the world known Trini Posse stand of Queens Park Ground. One of the best ever experiences from the party stand. 

After the First match, the team headed to Tobago to enjoy the globally famous corals, nylon rope beaches, rainforest, Castara bay and many others.  Finally on 18th September, wait is over to play at the legendary Queens Park Oval Ground. Scintillating win by SportzTank India Thunders over the home team by 10 wickets boosted the confidence of all the players. Match was witnessed by the Indian High Commission, multiple members of various Rotary Clubs of Trinidad and many other prestigious personalities. Live band filled the players with much needed energy and filled the environment with Caribbean essence.

Next day, another dream came true when the team entered the prestigious Brian Lara Academy with the gears and played match against the Cosmos Cricket Club which is one of the oldest and finest cricket club of Trinidad. Following day, again we all enjoyed playing the Day Night match at Brian Lara Academy.

After 3 consecutive matches, the team was taken out for the local tour where all enjoyed the local culture, flora and fauna, Caribbean cuisines, shopping and many other fun activities.  On 22nd September, the team  played their 5th and final match at Queens Oval Park. Again a fantastic innings by SportzTank India Thunders well supported by Local teams.

Another dream came true for all of us when we all had privilege to meet some of the legendary Cricketers in person over High Tea.
