An ECB Level 2 coaching course for overseas professionals is to be held in Bradford in July.

It is being organised and led on behalf of the Yorkshire Cricket Board by JCT 600 Management Board member and Undercliffe's deputy director of cricket, Nasa Hussain.

It will be staged at Carlton Bolling College in July, and already enquiries have been flowing in from Yorkshire League and Central Yorkshire League clubs.

Hussain said: "It is now essential that overseas professionals have at least a Level 2 coaching qualification as a condition of being issued with a work permit.

"We held a course last summer and it was well supported and early indications are that demand is strong once again," Hussain said.

Clubs who would like to book their overseas player on to the course should email: nasa140@hotmail.co.uk
