What Is the Eligibility for TMC Cricket Team Recruitment 2026?
Eligibility is different for every post, so read the row for your own role.
| Post | Qualification | Experience |
|---|---|---|
| Cricket Coach | MCA Level 1 coaching exam pass certificate | Played MCA Group A matches, plus 5 years as coach of an MCA-affiliated team |
| Assistant Coach | MCA Level 1 or Level 0 certificate, or a state-level player | Played MCA Group A matches, plus at least 3 years as coach of an MCA-affiliated team |
| Fitness Trainer | NIS fitness course (1 year or 6 weeks) completed | Or, instead of the course, certificate of at least 2 years as fitness trainer in an open national competition |

| Team Manager | Not specified separately | At least 5 years as manager with a sports club or team (team, district, university, state or professional) |
Three extra conditions matter. Fitness Trainer, Physiotherapist and Team Manager applicants must hold a character certificate from their institution; for the Team Manager it is stated as compulsory and must come from a registered club or institution. A Fitness Trainer with at least 3 years with a government or semi-government team (district, university, state or professional) gets preference. A Team Manager who has worked with a government or semi-government team also gets preference.
The Assistant Coach notice reads “Level 0” as printed (“Level O”). Graduates in physiotherapy can also browse more graduate government jobs.
Age Limit
The notices state no age limit. The application form only asks for your date of birth and age on the date of filling.
What Each Role Involves
Read the duties before you apply: the notices make them compulsory, and a complaint from players can end the contract.
- Cricket Coach: attend practice regularly, get the best practice out of the players, stay with an injured player during treatment, and make sure selected players and TMC’s permanent-post cricketers are available for daily practice.
- Assistant Coach: the same duties, working in coordination with the head coach.
- Fitness Trainer: give players good physical training, make sure each player follows fitness work with discipline, report a player who avoids fitness or stays absent to the coach with that day’s report, and stay with injured players during treatment.
- Physiotherapist: attend practice and matches from time to time and treat players who are injured during practice.
- Team Manager: attend practice and matches and handle the complete planning and management. For away tournaments you must book the team’s railway reservations yourself and look after the players on the journey, give written notice of expected expenses in advance, submit the match report immediately after the event, and submit expense papers promptly. A player who misbehaves or stays absent is to be marked absent on the attendance sheet.
For the Team Manager, the notice says conduct and cooperation with the team will be reviewed before any further extension is proposed to the Commissioner, who holds all powers on it.
What Is the Salary for TMC Cricket Team Posts?
| Post | Monthly Pay |
|---|---|
| All five posts | Rs 30,000, lump-sum honorarium |
The honorarium is a fixed monthly amount for 11 months. No pay level, allowances or increments are mentioned. Appointment is on contract, and the notices say you will have no right to claim permanent service.
What Is the Selection Process for TMC Cricket Team Recruitment 2026?
The notices do not describe any written test, trial, interview or other stage. They only say that applications from eligible candidates are invited and that the Commissioner’s decision is final in any dispute. Keep your certificates ready in case TMC contacts you. Do not assume a trial or an interview, and do not assume there is none. Wait for TMC to tell you what comes next.
