Coaching exports: Sri Lankan coaches contracted to clubs abroad through one agency

A first step

Call the coaching or development officer at 5 cricket clubs abroad, in countries with many Sri Lankans abroad, and ask one question: would they take a Sri Lankan coach on a season contract, and at what fee. At the same time, ask 3 qualified coaches you know whether they would travel for that fee. One club naming a price and one coach saying yes is your first placement.

Who pays first

A club abroad short of qualified coaches for its juniors, which pays one agency fee rather than recruiting a coach from scratch.

What leaves today

Sri Lankan coaches already go abroad one by one, and the placement fee and the terms of the contract are captured by nobody on the island.

The idea and the mechanism are from the book. The first step was written for this site as a suggestion; if you know a better one, say so.

The test

Does it keep value that now leaves the island, or build the proof that lets somebody else do so?

The only test any idea on this site has to pass. The four rules that go with it are here.
