The Mini Cricket Field at Mike’s Forest Retreat
Echoing with elegance and playful legacy, the Mini Cricket Field at Mike’s Forest Retreat brings the spirit of the game to a gracious setting.
The bat still sings, the ball still spins,
On smaller fields, the soul still wins.
A Beloved Game, Refined by Scale
At Mike’s Forest Retreat, our mini cricket field is not a scaled-down experience—it’s a thoughtfully reimagined one. With carefully maintained turf, a proper pitch, and all the essential markings of the game, it offers everything a full-sized ground might—except the vastness of distance.
What you lose in boundary size, you gain in intimacy. Here, matches feel closer, moments more shared, and play becomes part of the surrounding landscape. It’s a space where cricket is felt, not just played—with energy, elegance, and a sense of joyful participation.
A Legacy Grounded in Passion and Play
The our cricket field carries the silent weight of legacy—after all, it belongs to a retreat founded by Mike Dalvi, a seasoned cricketer with Ranji and Zonal honours. His love for the sport isn’t locked away in trophies; it breathes in this field, in the joy of a well-played shot, in the rhythm of a smooth run-up.
Here, cricket isn’t just an offering—it’s an inheritance. And whether you’re playing or simply watching from the side-lines, you can feel the difference that kind of lineage makes. It’s not about performance—it’s about presence.
Where the Game Meets the Forest’s Grace
What sets this field apart isn’t just its proportions—it’s the way it sits within the natural surroundings. Enclosed by trees and kissed by filtered sunlight, it blends the pulse of play with the peace of place.
There’s a rare quietness even amid movement, a softness in how the cheers echo, and a charm in how casually the game folds into the day. Whether it’s a full match or a few overs among friends, the field remains both vibrant and inviting.
