Occidental Cricketers

Congratulations to the 3 Occidental Cricketers named in the West Indies over-60s side for the IMC Over-60s World Cup, to be held in Toronto in August.

Harvey Mohamed has been on many Occies tours, Raj Chetana came on the very first one (to India in 2015) and Roy Singh came to South Africa in 2018.

Good luck, guys!

Here is the itinerary for the Occidental Cricketers' Great Australia Tour of 2026, and what a three weeks it promises to be!

We'll kick things off in the vibrant, cosmopolitan, cricket-mad city of Melbourne, where we will play 4 games on great grounds.

Then we head out through the Victorian and South Australian countryside - including world-famous wine country - to the town of Mt Gambier, where we will stay for 4 nights, playing two games, including one in the crater of an old volcano.

After that, we continue on to charming Adelaide (recently named the world's most beautiful city) for 5 more games, and we will end the tour with two days at the Australia vs New Zealand Test match at the iconic Adelaide Oval.

Playing spots are filling up quickly, as you might imagine, so if you are keen to join, let Jim know by email ([email protected]) or WhatsApp (+64-21-111-4059).

If you can't make the full tour, you can come for the part(s) that suit you.

Non-players are very welcome as well.

The Occidental Cricketers are a World XI-style wandering team comprised of players from all over the world. We welcome cricketers of any nationality, background, and age. We have been on epic tours to India (twice), Sri Lanka, Australia/NZ, South Africa, the West Indies, Southeast Asia, Zimbabwe/Namibia, and the UK. Everything is organised, so all you have to do is show up.

Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Here we go ... the Occidentals are off again, this time to beautiful Australia in November/December.

This will be our 10th epic overseas tour and our second trip Down Under.

We will start in the buzzing city of Melbourne, playing 4 games, then work our way down the world-famous Great Ocean Road, playing a couple of games along the way, through South Australian wine country to Adelaide. There we will play 5 more games (that's a total of 11 on the tour!) and finish up with Days 1 and 2 of the Test match between Australia and New Zealand at the iconic Adelaide Oval.

Even if you aren't a cricketer, you are very welcome to come as a non-player.

This promises to be one of the Occies' best tours yet. Spots are limited and are already filling up, so contact Jim to get more info or register your interest: [email protected] or (+64) 021 111 4059.

While we await the announcement regarding the next tour, here are the batting and bowling averages from the Occidentals' recent tour to India.

Thanks very much to PPhil Weirs son for putting these together!
