The Green Berets

Cricket Tour

The Green Beret Tour

Every year since 2008, the Nantes Cricket Club has organised a week-long summer tour abroad.

This is an opportunity to compete against more experienced local teams.

On this occasion, all the players wear the famous green beret (even in matches!) to carry the colours of French cricket beyond the borders.

A change of scenery is guaranteed! Who can say better?
