Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee Chairman Zaka Ashraf has announced that the central contract remuneration of key cricketers is being doubled, it was reported on Monday.
Zaka Ashraf made this announcement on the occasion of the first class of the Lahore Qalandars Women Players Development Program.
After this increase, the players of the A category will receive Rs 9.0 million per month, the B category will get Rs 6.0 million and players falling in C and D categories will get between Rs 1.5 to 3 million.
Now, players of the A category like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Rizwan will get Rs 9 million per month. Babar, Rizwan, and Shaheen, due to their roles as an all-format player, are slated to fall under Category A.
PCB Chairman said that they want the players to earn money from cricket and bring the team to the top.
On this occasion, Zak Ashraf said that women cricketers will also get handsome compensation that no one has given before.
