Title: How much do??
Post by: Rothowl on July 13, 2014, 05:59:56 PM: The overseas club cricketers get for a season?

It's always intrigued me what clubs will pay an OS player.

What's the current rate for getting an overseas amateur at your local club?

It depends on the level of player and what else is in the package...

Post by: Manormanic on July 13, 2014, 06:27:47 PM: Most I ever heard of was a then current West Indies test bowler getting £13k for the season in Yorkshire. There was a clause that he had to turn down County deals and International call ups mind.

Ended up playing county cricket that season and the Australia team a year later.

Post by: Seniorplayer on July 14, 2014, 11:32:22 AM: I know a couple of younger overseas at different clubs who get no money but get free board and lodgings one is required to take charge of coaching at his club and the other as to help out at his club bar duties etc

Post by: El Nino on July 14, 2014, 11:44:51 AM: I played a pretty poor standard, Got flights, Cheap accom, and a full sponsored kit from Fearnley.

That was two seasons ago, was pretty happy with it mind you, got offered Flights, accom and 50 pound a week as well, but had already agreed my deal!
