It is now possible to play cricket at Europe's leading sports and leisure resort, in sunny southern Portugal, since the addition of a batting cage and year round artificial wicket to Browns Sport and Leisure Club's already impressive portfolio of sporting facilities. The people you meet, the experiences you share, and the opportunity to improve your cricket, and the memories of a tour will become the most memorable experiences of your cricket career.

Come to Browns Sport and Leisure Club to play cricket for much the same reasons why so many international football & rugby clubs have chosen Browns for their training: the outstanding quality of the pitch and practice facilities, first-class golf, tennis, swimming, fitness, a tantalising selection of restaurants, a dazzling array of nightlife, fantastic Marina choice of luxury accommodation and, perhaps most importantly, an ideal climate that makes it possible to train outdoors in the sunshine all year round.

Browns has hosted for the past 3 years the International Cricket Festival for Wandering Clubs (ICFWC). During this tournament at least 5 games of cricket are guaranteed for every team over 3 days.
