Camps

Train harder than the real thing, so the real thing is easy.

GCS camps are intensive and value-added, designed for teams and first-class cricketers. Precise, skill-specific sessions give players insight into the sub-continent conditions where the majority of world cricket is played.

Camps we've delivered

Recent squads.

April 2025

Hong Kong Women's Cricket Team

Sri Lanka

Ahead of the World Cup Qualifiers, the 14-member Hong Kong squad spent a week on skill enhancement, strategic refinement and match readiness. The programme featured centre-wicket sessions, scenario-based drills and full match simulation designed to replicate international standards. Seamless logistics, expert local support and access to top-tier facilities created the environment for elite performance.

High-performance camp

ECB Women's, I

Mumbai, India

GCS welcomed the ECB Women's team to the cricket capital. The players worked through batting drills against spin and pace under the watchful eyes of ECB and local coaches. The pinnacle was a match simulation on one of South Mumbai's iconic pitches, batting against specific field settings and chasing targets within a set number of deliveries. ECB coaches monitored progress throughout so no development opportunity went unnoticed.

February–March

Glamorgan Women's

Lonavala & Pune, India

The Glamorgan girls travelled to Lonavala, a scenic hill station in Maharashtra known for its climate and natural beauty. Under coach Amie Ries, structured side-net and centre-wicket sessions sharpened skills and built team discipline. The cool, peaceful setting proved ideal for focused practice and bonding, with a day in Pune blending tradition and modern life into the trip.

Extended digitally

Every camp now carries a five-pillar digital plan.

Players get a pre-camp preparation block, daily in-camp logging and a post-camp pathway, so the gains made in Mumbai still exist in May.
