Senior players have raised objections to certain aspects of the contract.
The report said, “These range from questions surrounding the NOC process for participation in foreign leagues to finding out more about image rights at ICC events, and sections relating to signing up participation fees and individual endorsements at ICC events.” Are included.”
The PCB announced 33 central contracts this season, split between white and red-ball players for the first time in 2022–23.
As per the board’s standard practice, while copies of the contracts were handed over to the players at the start of the pre-tour camp in Lahore, several players from the lower tiers signed on the dotted lines but the senior stars did not. immediately.
Apart from Babar, Afridi and Rizwan, this group also included Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman and Hasan Ali. The players sought more time as they wanted to discuss the specifics of the contracts with their advisors and lawyers, as there is no player body in the country.
In the past, Pakistan cricketers have rarely disputed any aspect of their central contracts and returned them straight away.
Historically, the Pakistan Board has never formally interacted with cricketers while drafting contracts on their behalf.
Hence, this new development can be seen as a marker of sorts in the equation between the board and the cricketers.
As per the central contracts, the monthly retainer amount and match fees were not among the points of contention. All the players will get a match fee of Rs 1 lakh. 838,530 PKR (approx US$3800) for one test, Rs. PKR 515,696 (approximately US$2300) for an ODI and PKR 372,075 (approximately US$1700) for a T20I.
On the other hand, Pakistan’s top red-ball contract is PKR 1,050,000 (approximately US$4700) per month and PKR 950,000 (approximately US$4300) for the corresponding white-ball contract.
