Coach, support staff registration for MCL goes live
DUBAI, September 30, 2015
The Masters Champions League (MCL) governing council said the registration process for individuals interested in becoming coaches and in taking up allied positions during the tournament is now live.
Over three months after the tournament was launched at the iconic Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, in the presence of legends like Adam Gilchrist and Brian Lara, the MCL unveiled the third stage of the process, said a statement.
In all 260 players had expressed interested in participating in the MCL as a player and had registered themselves for an auction scheduled to be held in October, it said.
A similar procedure will be followed for registering coaches and support staff via the official website of MCL.
Alternately, those affiliated to the Federation of International Cricketers Association (FICA) will be emailed forms for them to enrol for the positions.
The positions include head coach, batting coach, bowling coach, fielding coach, physio, trainer and masseur, said the statement.
All the registered names for support staff will be submitted to the governing council of MCL and to the six franchise owners as a bank to pick the rightful candidates from, it said.
Zarah Shah, chief executive officer, MCL, said: "This is an exciting phase of the tournament because there are a number of opportunities for interested coaches to be part of this event. All the names will go into a pool for the governing council to vet and thereafter for the franchises to dip in to.
"I would like to thank the members of the governing council for recommending an excellent process to source candidates. The planning and preparation for the tournament is on in full swing, with the pace picking up quite nicely."
The final date for registrations will be October 18, while the next stage of the process for the player auctions and other operational details will be announced in due course, the statement added. - TradeArabia News Service
