The Event

What is the
Global Cricket Series?

The GCS brings together junior cricketers from different clubs, schools and countries to compete in a professional multi-format tournament. Players of all abilities are welcome — from developing club cricketers to those playing at representative level — and our structured seeding system ensures every squad competes at the right level. Two formats, real opposition, real stakes — in a Caribbean environment unlike anything available at home. And because GCS is built in genuine partnership with the island of Tobago, it's affordable by design — bringing elite tour cricket within reach of more players than ever before.

The Programme

10 Days
in the Caribbean

From the moment your squad lands, everything is taken care of by our Tobago host partners. Here is what your GCS experience looks like.

DAY 1
ARRIVAL
Welcome to Tobago
GCS host nation partners meet your squad at the airport. Transfers, hotel check-in, welcome briefing and an evening to settle in and soak up your first Caribbean sunset.
DAYS 2–4
T20 SEEDING
3 × T20 Round Robin
Three seeding matches determine your tournament pathway. Results place your squad into one of three 50-over competition groups:
CUP
PLATE
SHIELD
DAY 5
EXCURSION
Boat Trip & Beach BBQ
A full day on the water. Explore Tobago's stunning coastline, snorkel in crystal-clear bays, then come ashore for a proper Caribbean beach BBQ. The day every player remembers.
DAYS 6–8
50-OVER STAGE
3 × 50-Over Competition
Three 50-over matches within your seeded group — Cup, Plate or Shield. The longer format brings a new tactical dimension: patience, partnerships and match management under Caribbean skies.
DAY 9
FINALS DAY
T20 Finals & Awards
The tournament closes with T20 Finals across all three groups — Cup, Plate and Shield — with every team in contention. Trophy presentations, player awards and a closing celebration.
DAY 10
DEPARTURE
Homeward Bound
GCS support throughout your airport transfer. Players leave with medals, memories and a cricket CV that stands apart from anything at home.

The Process

How squad
selection works

From registering your interest to walking out in Tobago — here's what happens next.

1

Register & share your stats

Register your interest and share a link to your Play-Cricket player profile, so coaches can see your scores, figures and form.

2

Coaches select their squad

The coach who sent you the link reviews registrations and Play-Cricket stats, then selects players to form their franchise squad for the tournament.

3

Booking form & deposit

Selected players are sent a booking form covering everything needed to confirm their place, including a deposit to secure their spot in the squad.

4

Not selected? You're still in the mix

If you're not selected by the coach who invited you, you're not out of the running — your details can be passed on to other franchise teams for a further chance to take part.

Why GCS

What makes this
different?

COMPETITIVE CRICKET

Multi-format tournament structure across T20 and 50-over cricket. Seeded Cup, Plate and Shield groups ensure every match is competitive and meaningful — from day one to Finals Day.

FULLY SUPPORTED

Airport meet-and-greet, accommodation, transport and all match logistics are fully supported by the GCS team and our host island partners. Players and coaches focus entirely on cricket.

AFFORDABLE BY DESIGN

GCS is built in genuine partnership with the island of Tobago. A significant portion of costs are subsidised through that relationship, making elite tour cricket accessible to more squads and players.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

Two formats, varied international opposition, individual statistics and performance tracking throughout. The GCS structure mirrors the professional game at every level.

"Think of it as bringing together talented young cricketers from different backgrounds to create something bigger than any one club or academy could achieve on its own."

AFFORDABLE BY DESIGN

World-class cricket.
Made accessible.

GCS operates in genuine partnership with the island of Tobago. That relationship means costs are heavily subsidised — so the focus stays where it belongs: on your player, not the price tag.
