Cricket Tikes classes are usually held inside the main sports hall and indoor nets during the winter and outside on the Astro Turf pitches, nets and world-class training facilities during the cricket season.

Merchant Taylor’s School is set on a superb 285-acre estate of playing fields and lakes. The 200-acres of sports facilities are magnificent.

Cricket heritage at Merchant Taylors’ is exceptionally strong with 17 competitive teams throughout the school and top class cricket facilities including 12 grass cricket squares, indoor and outdoor (all weather) nets, grass nets, and 3 bowling machines. Middlesex CCC and MCC Young Cricketers train and play regularly at the school, and the Australian cricket team trained at the school in preparation for their Ashes tours of 2013 and 2015 as did the Indian cricket team in 2018. In 2019, Sri Lanka, England and Australia will all be based at Merchant Taylors' School for part of their training schedules for the ICC World Cup.

Contained within the beautiful grounds of Merchant Taylors' School is OMT Colts Cricket Club (OMTCCC) which benefits from the incredible first-class cricket facilities. Cricket Tikes works closely with both School and Club to provide a pathway of continuity for the children, ensuring this opportunity is available to all.
