County Cricketers take “maximum reductions” in salaries

The County Championship was scheduled to start this weekend but the domestic season has been postponed until at least May 28

County Cricketers take "maximum reductions" in salaries

County cricketers will take “maximum reductions” in their salaries during April and May while likewise agreeing to waive ₤1million in prize money this year as part of a support package during the coronavirus crisis.

The County Championship was scheduled to start this weekend, but the domestic season has been postponed until at least May 28, and there are expectations of further delays.

A collective player agreement has therefore been surged out between the Professional Cricketers’ Association, the England and Wales Cricket Board, and the 18 first-class counties in a bid to protect the domestic game.

🗣 County players agree voluntary package with @ECB_cricket and counties to support first-class game.https://t.co/Ka0Itcoslk

— PCA (@PCA) April 8, 2020

Under the agreement which covers the next two months, players will also agree to be furloughed if asked by their county, which can not deduct wages further than what has been decided and should be in line with non-playing staff at each club.

PCA chairman Daryl Mitchell stated: “The understanding from our players and the willingness to help has been particularly heartening.”

“Like many markets, cricket recognizes the challenges it currently faces; the players have looked out to the need for them to play their part.”

“The coronavirus pandemic will continue to put financial pressure on the game, and this initial two-month agreement will support the game for April and May.

“We were due to start the County Championship season on Sunday, and sadly for all of us, that will not be the case.

“As a group of players, we will do everything we can to ensure that when cricket does return, the sport is in a position to thrive.”

The ₤1million the PCA will give up is around half of the domestic player prize pool for 2020 and will support the implementation of the County Partnership Agreement, providing support to cricketers who leave the game from this year and beyond.

Following the PCA’s announcement of the support package, Essex, the winners of last year’s championship and T20 Blast, confirmed they would be furloughing their playing staff along with the majority of off-field personnel.

Glamorgan also announced they had placed all playing staff and coaches on furlough, alongside non-playing staff at the club till the end of May. Senior members of staff will take a salary cut of up to 25 percent.

Chief executive Hugh Morris said in a statement on the club’s website: “This is not a decision that the club has taken lightly; however, it’s a necessary one to help protect the jobs of all the staff at Glamorgan.

"The players understand the difficult situation that we find ourselves in and were keen to help."

Glamorgan's playing and coaching staff have today been placed on furlough, in line with the government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme

“We are extremely grateful to all members of staff for recognizing the challenges to the finances of the club and willingly engaging in the measures taken to help protect the future of Glamorgan.

Some other counties have followed similar measures, with Kent turning to the Government’s job retention scheme for the majority of their playing staff members. Captain Sam Billings stays on staff to help with the club’s community work but has agreed on a pay cut.

Derbyshire state they will “operate with a skeleton staff working remotely” while Leicestershire has furloughed the majority of their staff for three weeks.

On Monday, Yorkshire became the first county to furlough its players and cricket staff. While Lancashire decided against the furlough for its staff.
