More and more Pakistani players signing with non-Pakistani agents

[Saj]

Seems to be a growing and understandable trend that more and more of the up and coming Pakistani players are signing with English and Australian agents and cricket management companies.

Most probably a good thing, given the reputation of most Pakistani agents and guys who claim to be agents/managers.

In my dealings with these English and Australian agents and cricket management companies they are professional and offer proper management and advice to players and not the chaotic and anything goes type management of most Pakistani agents.

Good that the players are signing with agents who are more professional.

Yeah, recently saw Zaman signing with a UK based Pakistani agent.

Yeah, recently saw Zaman signing with a UK based Pakistani agent.

I am glad to hear that

Hopefully this will instill more professionalism and better sense of modernism in our players.

Much needed. Should've happened in the early 2000s and would have saved us from getting embarrassed.

Pak agents for sure would be unprofessional and greedy. Better to go with non Pak's for sure.

It's an important investment for cricketers to make.

Larger agencies are proven and provide a network of connections.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Its good , that should keep them away from questionable characters as well.

These agents will also help negotiate t20 deals for these guys and prevent any dodgy dealings.

How much does an agent make? Like for example, the agent for Azhar Ali?

Their commission is mostly 10% of contract terms, industry standard but may differ.

 

[Monsee]

Yeah, recently saw Zaman signing with a UK based Pakistani agent.

Not a great choice if recent history is considered!
