Players Will Earn Millions Under PCB’s New Domestic Structure
Despite
a reduction in the number of teams and fewer matches in the reformed national
structure, the Pakistan Cricket Commission (PCB) will inject more RS. $1
billion this season.
A significant portion of this amount has been allocated to the well-being of
players by providing them with unprecedented salaries, based on improved
retention, match fees, allowances and cash prizes that can yield more than
10,000 rupees. $2 million in the player's bank statement over the coming
season.
Under
the new model, the six cricket associations, will provide one-year contracts to
32 players each to give them a stable income. The 192 contracted
players will earn Rs. 600,000 per year based on Rs. 50,000 monthly fees.
