The published pathway starts with foundation learning and local-league competence, but current governance and recognition must be confirmed before enrolling.

Your route

One stage at a time.

  1. 01

    Stage 1

    Complete current foundation learning

    Use current ICC learning while checking which local body is authorised to deliver or recognise practical education.

  2. 02

    Stage 2

    Confirm the current US delivery body

    USA Cricket membership was suspended by the ICC in September 2025, so do not rely on the 2020 pathway document alone.

  3. 03

    Stage 3

    Gain local match experience

    Work only through a recognised league or appointments body with clear assessment and safeguarding processes.

  4. 04

    Stage 4

    Recheck recognition before progressing

    Confirm the current national and international status of any certificate or panel before making career decisions.

Editorial trust

Checked, not guessed.
