Agent Accreditation

Player Agent Accreditation Scheme

The Player Agent Accreditation Scheme is established by the New Zealand Cricket Players’ Association (NZCPA) in recognition of the fact that its members may choose to engage professional contract and / or management representation services during their careers as professional cricket players.

The NZCPA recognizes the important role played by these professional services providers (referred to in this Charter as “agents”). Accordingly, the NZCPA considers that the interests of its members are enhanced by monitoring and maintaining the standards of knowledge, integrity, competence, conduct, performance and professionalism of the agents associated with New Zealand’s professional cricket players.

The purpose of the Player Agent Accreditation Scheme is to help ensure players have access to agents who we are confident have the experience, skills and knowledge to provide quality advice and support in a manner which the NZCPA believes advances the interests of its members. We also wish to have a scheme which is fair and reasonable to those agents wishing to provide professional services to players.

The Player Agent Accreditation Scheme is not a compulsory accreditation scheme and is not designed to regulate the involvement of agents. However, it is envisaged as being an important and valuable tool for players to identify quality professional service providers and for agents to promote and maintain quality professional services.

Individuals who meet the standards set out in the 'Agent Accreditation Scheme - Charter' and agree to abide by its terms and conditions may be recognized by the NZCPA as Accredited Agents.

The 'Agent Accreditation Scheme - Charter' covers the services provided to players in respect of their professional cricket career and related contractual negotiations.
