How do you become a professional cricketer?

Answer 1

It depends rather how old you are but initially you should approach your nearest first class county who will advise you of where and when courses are taking place.Once registered you can umpire village cricket matches (people generally stick to their local village club and umpire home and away).To reach anything approaching county standard however takes at least 5 years of courses and monitoring.The process also involves mandatory eye tests and physical fitness tests.I reached Birmingham League standard in 1994 after 13 years of village cricket,Worcestershire League cricket and more courses than I care to recall,I did it for 7 years at that level before realising I was not getting any younger and admitting to myself that I would not be umpiring first class whatever I did.There is something of a clique surrounding first class appointments,the right school tie helps,that sort of thing.Its not as bad now as it was once but theyre very keen that you should have played to a certain standard these days.I wouldn't put you off.I hold jumpers for my local village teams 2nd XI nowadays and very much enjoy it but for it to be more than a hobby you need total dedication and if,as with most who turn to umpiring,you are simply someone who has finished playing and wishes to stay involved,the prospects of doing anything career wise are not great,particularly with 'prefered status' now given to ex-pro players.
