This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Petition Allow individuals on tier 5 C+S visas (Coach only) to play in amateur leagues.

Ayr CC employ a former West Indies Test player as a coach/pro. His effect in the last 2 years on junior participation has been huge. This year thanks to a Home Office ruling he cannot play league or cup cricket. If this situation persists we risk losing coaches and young players.

More details

Many clubs throughout UK will be impacted by this- development plans and junior participation is at risk if clubs are forced to choose between employing a coach or a player. A wealth of international talent (and the traditional club pro position) is at risk of being lost.
