FRANCHISE TEAM PARTNER OPPORTUNITY
TOBAGO TROPHY · 16 & UNDER · JULY 2027
PLAY. TOUR. EXPERIENCE.
FROM THE TOBAGO TROPHY — JULY 2025
CRICKET IN PARADISE.
The Opportunity
The Global Cricket Series is recruiting coaches, academies, clubs and organisations to become Franchise Team Partners — competing in the Tobago Trophy 2027, an international 16 & under cricket tournament in the Caribbean. You can lead a full squad, contribute a handful of players, or build a team alongside another organisation. There's no single way to get involved.
The model is designed to be flexible, collaborative and accessible.
YOU DON'T NEED A FULL SQUAD
You don't need 14 players. You might have:
All of these can work. Many franchise teams will be built through collaboration, with The Global Cricket Series helping to bring players and coaches together where needed.
Whether you contribute four players or fourteen, there is a place within the model.
The Model
Players are selected into franchise teams — not club or school sides — drawing from:
“Think of it as bringing together talented young cricketers from different backgrounds to create something bigger than any one club or academy could achieve on its own.”
WHAT IS THE TOBAGO TROPHY?
16 & Under · Caribbean · July 2027
12 franchise teams from the UK, US and Caribbean compete across a structured format:
The tournament also includes:
Players return home with far more than just cricket memories.
Your Role
Depending on your circumstances, you might:
Some partners will play a major leadership role. Others may simply contribute players and support the wider programme. Both are equally valuable.
WE HANDLE THE LOGISTICS
We handle the administration so you can focus on players and coaching:
This allows Franchise Team Partners to focus on players, coaching and creating a great experience.
What's In It For You
CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUR PLAYERS
Give players an experience most young cricketers never access.
STRENGTHEN YOUR COACHING PROGRAMME
A franchise team creates a powerful focus for player engagement and retention.
GROW YOUR NETWORK
Collaborate with coaches and organisations from across the UK and beyond.
EARN REAL INCOME
Partners are paid a fee for every player they recruit into the programme. The more players you bring, the more you earn — and there are additional revenue streams beyond the tour itself:
The Tobago Trophy is our 16 & under flagship, but the Global Cricket Series runs tournaments across different age groups throughout the year. Partners who build relationships within the model are first in line for those opportunities too.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Most importantly — people passionate about creating opportunities for young cricketers.
You do not need a full squad. You simply need players who would benefit from being part of something special.
Key Dates
The Global Cricket Series also runs events across other age groups throughout the year. Partners confirmed for Tobago will be among the first to hear about upcoming opportunities.
