If you have an existing travel insurance policy in place with another provider such as your bank but it does not include cover for cricket, we can provide a bolt-on style of protection for your trip.

What makes our policy different?
Many standard travel insurance policies do not cover cricket, and even if they do, it’s likely that there will be exclusions for participating in tours, tournaments, and events, making a specialist policy necessary.
Our Sports Travel Insurance policy will not only cover the regular travel mishaps such as medical emergencies and repatriation, flight delays, cancellation and lost baggage, but also protects you whilst taking part in cricket tours or friendly matches.
If you are playing on home land, our Sports Accident Insurance should be considered for all round protection. This product offers a variety of benefits including personal accident, personal liability and more.
What does our policy cover?
From covering medical expenses to protecting your cricket equipment should it get stolen whilst you’re on holiday, our Cricket Travel Insurance provides comprehensive cover.
- Emergency Medical Expenses & Repatriation
- Cancellation & Curtailment
- Personal Liability
- Personal Accident
- Delayed, lost or stolen baggage
