St. Ignatius College Riverview
Mumbai, Delhi & Agra, India
The tour of the St. Ignatius College Riverview cricket team from Australia to India was a blend of sport, culture and exploration. The team played on legendary pitches in Mumbai and Delhi in nail-biting encounters.

In Agra the squad marvelled at the Taj Mahal. Three cities, unforgettable cricket and camaraderie.
Young Gun Cricket Academy
Chennai, Ahmedabad & Mumbai, India
Young Gun Cricket Academy trained at the Chennai Super Kings Academy, adapting their skills to subcontinent pitches, then tested them in matches against local sides. Attending an IPL match at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium was a standout. Mumbai's Juhu Beach rounded out a journey that honed cricketing ability and broadened worldview in equal measure.
Maribyrnong University Boys
Bengaluru, India
GCS handled every arrangement so the players could focus on cricket from the moment they landed.
