Lancashire Cricket’s has announced that its pre-season tour will be sponsored by Hilton for a second year running.
The global hospitality company has extended its long-standing partnership as the official hotel partner of the club, sponsoring both men’s and women’s tours ahead of the new county cricket season.
The men’s and Lancashire Thunder squads will depart from Manchester to Dubai on Saturday 11th March for warm weather training while staying at the Conrad Dubai.
Thunder will then embark on a second leg of the pre-season tour to Mumbai on Sunday 19th March whilst Glen Chapple’s squad will remain in Dubai for the duration of the tour.
The partnership extension will also allow Hilton to provide experiences for its Hilton Honors members across the club’s event programme in 2023 which includes international cricket, LV=Insurance men’s Ashes and concert event days, including Arctic Monkeys in June and bespoke events at the pitch-side Hilton Garden Inn Manchester Emirates Old Trafford.
Chief Executive of Lancashire Cricket, Daniel Gidney, commented, “I am delighted that we have extended our flagship partnership with Hilton by a further year. We are really pleased to continue our work on several exciting projects together which includes the new development at Emirates Old Trafford taking us up to 250 bedrooms, our 2023 pre-season tour and also the ongoing growth of women’s cricket in the region.
“Hilton are an amazing partner. They have really bought into the journey of our Thunder squad, and they want to work closely with us to help to accelerate not only our aims of growing the women’s game in Lancashire – but also the personal growth of the members of our squad.
“Alongside the new development and pre-season tour, we are also really excited to be working with Hilton on another collaborative project involving our Thunder squad and will be revealing more details on this in the coming weeks.”
Lancashire Cricket men’s captain Keaton Jennings, commented, “Following a long winter in the gym and Indoor Centre at Emirates Old Trafford, both our men’s and women’s squads are excited to travel together on pre-season tour and get out on the grass in Dubai.
“With a lot of the squad having spent their winters playing cricket all around the world, it will be great to have an almost complete squad on the tour ahead of the new season.
“The facilities at both the Emirates 7s Stadium and ICC Academy are top class and we look forward to seeing representatives from our headline sponsors at Emirates whilst on the tour.”
