CRICKET TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR PLAYERS TOURING & TRAINING ABROAD
Cricket Travel Insurance from Yellow Jersey is designed for amateur players travelling overseas where cricket is the primary purpose of their trip. Whether you’re travelling for a club or school tour, county or representative cricket, an international tournament, cricket academy or pre-season training camp, our specialist policy provides cover designed specifically for organised cricket travel.
Unlike standard travel insurance, which may exclude organised sport or provide limited cover, our Cricket Travel Insurance can include protection for emergency medical expenses, sports equipment, trip cancellation, travel disruption and more, subject to the policy wording. That means you can focus on enjoying your cricket, knowing you have cover designed for the trip you’ve travelled to take.
Why choose specialist cricket travel insurance?
If you’re travelling overseas to play cricket, your insurance should protect more than just your flights and accommodation. Cricket tours often involve organised training sessions, coaching camps, practice matches and competitive fixtures, and there’s also the risk that an injury before you travel could prevent you from taking part altogether. Choosing specialist cricket travel insurance means you’re protected before you leave and throughout your trip, with cover including cancellation if you’re unable to travel due to an insured injury or illness, emergency medical expenses, sports equipment and travel disruption, subject to the policy terms and conditions.
Ask yourself two questions about your current travel insurance –
Does it cover me if the primary purpose of my trip is to play cricket?
e.g. pre-season cricket camp
Does my travel insurance cover me for overseas cricket tours?
e.g. Barbados cricket week
Cricket travel insurance vs standard travel insurance
Most standard travel insurance policies are not designed for cricket players. If cricket is the main purpose of your trip, it is often excluded entirely or only covered in very limited circumstances.
Our cricket travel insurance is different. It is built specifically for players travelling abroad to train or compete, providing cover that reflects the realities of cricket tours, training camps and overseas competition.
With cricket travel insurance, you benefit from cover that applies when cricket is the primary reason for your trip, including medical treatment for cricket-related injuries, protection for essential kit, and trip cancellation or curtailment if injury or illness prevents you from playing.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN YOUR CRICKET TRAVEL INSURANCE:
Depending on the level of cover you choose, benefits may include:
- Medical and emergency treatment for cricket-related injuries abroad
- Emergency evacuation and repatriation if required
- Cover for essential cricket kit and equipment
- Trip cancellation or curtailment due to injury or illness
- Personal liability cover
- 24/7 emergency assistance while overseas
All cover is subject to policy terms, conditions and limits.
Simple cover, built around how cricket trips actually work.
FLEXIBLE COVER OPTIONS
Sports trips rarely fit neatly into standard travel insurance. That’s why our policies include flexible options for couples, families and young athletes.
Spectator-only cover
Family members travelling to support an athlete don’t need to pay for sports participation cover they won’t use.
Accompanied minors
Parents can arrange cover for accompanied minors without needing to insure themselves on the same policy, provided the child is travelling with a responsible adult.
Couples & families
Reduced pricing for additional travellers because more people on one policy doesn’t automatically mean double the risk.
Annual or Short Term
A Travel lots, pay less
Committing to an annual policy can often work out better value than buying cover for each trip, while still keeping you protected for every overseas cricket tour or training camp abroad.
Plus, our policies can cover multiple sports, so you could be set for your summer cricket tour and still have cover ready for your winter skiing trip; no last-minute insurance scramble required.
B No commitment
Not travelling all the time, or not ready to sign up for a full year? No worries. Our short-term, single-trip policies might cost a little more per trip, but they give you all the flexibility you need and the same handy suite of covers as our annual travellers.
