We would like to draw clubs attention to the fact that the ECB have reverted to pre-Covid criteria for determining whether first class players qualify for an International Sports Persons Visa. The relevant qualification period is now five first class matches in the preceding 24 month period (rather than 36 months) . Please ensure you check this before spending time on players/agents who will not qualify for an International Sportspersons' Visa (ISP).
