Insurance for professional cricketers
Dean Calaz, Regional Managing Director at Kerry London reflects on the specific needs for insurance for professional cricket players.
“Of course, no-one wants to think about the worst, but being prepared makes financial sense, as well as providing peace of mind that you are covered no matter what. Peace of mind that you are looking after the financial security for you and your family.”
Protecting the Players – the PCA Partnership with Kerry London
The partnership with the PCA is all about serving the best interests of professional cricketers as the formats of the game evolve. It’s all about ensuring players earnings and the needs of their families are appropriately protected should the worst happen.
Ian Thomas, Director of Development and Welfare:
“We’ve been working in partnership with Kerry London since 2016. It has become clear that whilst the cover provided by the representative bodies is significant, the potential career earnings of many professional cricketers, especially in the modern cricket landscape, can require additional top-up levels of cover. Our partnership makes sense for PCA members in order that they explore the level of cover that best suits their needs.”
Reflecting on the changing formats of the sport and the increased earning potential from franchises such as The Hundred, Calaz is passionate that professional sportsmen and women should have the information they need to make the right decisions for their personal circumstances.
“Should you have to retire from professional sport due to illness or career ending injury Permanent Total Disablement (PTD) Insurance is designed to pay you a proportion of your salary if you are permanently unable to play cricket and will remain unable to do so for the rest of your life. That’s whether the injury is sustained on or off the field or in training. The team at Kerry London have a long history of working closely with elite cricketers, cricket governing bodies, clubs, and agents to offer advice and reassurance to get the right insurance in place.”
