At Sports Tours Plus, we specialise in crafting unforgettable cricket tours, allowing you to be part of this historic event.

The History of The Ashes
In 1882 the legend of The Ashes cricket began. After Australia secured their test victory in England at The Oval, a satirical obituary published by a British Newspaper declared the “death of English cricket” and that “the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia”.
During England’s tour of Australia the following year, Ivo Bligh, the English Cricket captain was presented a small terracotta urn. Since then, the battle for this trophy has become cricket’s most renowned rivalry. Hosted alternatively by England and Australia approximately every two years, each series adds to the rich history of this iconic rivalry.
