Cricket travel insurance

Cricket can be a potentially risky sport, with bowling speeds of up to 100mph and all the additional dangers presented by swinging bats.

That said, generally the sport is easy-going and we’re happy to provide cover for cricket under all our policies, alongside automatic cover for over 50 other sports and activities including insurance for hiking and cycling!

Whether you play often or not, you can rest assured knowing that you won’t need to worry about getting additional extreme sports travel insurance for cricket. As always terms and conditions apply, so check the policy wording for full details of this and the other activities we cover.

What is included with cricket insurance?

As cricket comes under all our policies as one of 50 amazing adventure sports and activities, covered as standard, you’ll hit a six knowing that you’re covered for:

• Medical expenses and hospital benefit
• Personal accident and liability
• Cancelling and cutting short your holiday
• Abandoning your trip
• Delayed departure
• Accommodation cover
• Personal belongings and baggage
• Personal money, passport and travel documents
• Legal expenses

Will my cricket bat be insured?

While cricket is automatically covered under all our travel insurance policies, sports equipment can be expensive, so if you’re travelling with yours it’s important that it’s fully insured.  All our policies include cover for valuables, including sports equipment, so make sure you choose the right level of cover for your needs. If your cricket bat is particularly expensive, you can even add extended valuables cover to your policy, which covers up to £1,000 per item – see our policy wordings for more details.
