“We had such a fantastic stay at Desert Springs Resort and were well looked after. The apartments are amazing, and everything exceeded our expectations. Nick was ever so helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable.”

The focus of the training camp was to provide an opportunity for the players to both work seriously on their batting, bowling & fielding skills as well as their fitness levels.

Grass net practice, both bowling and batting took place at the Cricket Academy. Out-field practice, match simulations, throw downs, strength and conditioning work, running, speed and agility work was completed at the Cricket Ground.

The girls competed in T20 matches against Torre Pachecho CC and Granada CC, as well as spending their time training at the Desert Springs Cricket Academy. During their downtime they benefited from the use of the leisure facilities at the Sierra Sports Club and explored the region with their families on a day off.

The players, coaches and their families were accommodated in some of the privately-owned Apartments at Desert Springs and the resort’s executive chef was on hand to cater for the special dietary requirements of individual players dining in El Torrente restaurant.
