Pakistan Cricket Board Fails to Give Salary to Star Players for 4 Months

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has failed to provide four months’ salary to the players of the national team.

Star players like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan or Shaheen Afridi have also not been paid their salaries by the PCB. The Pakistan women’s cricket team has also not received salaries for four months.

The PCB awarded three-year contract to a total of 25 senior men’s cricketers, running from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2026.

They have not received their monthly salaries for four months, from July to October, and have been left waiting despite numerous reminders, stated Pakistan media reports.

“Additionally, the sponsorship payments for the logo on their shirts have also been overdue for several months,” the report added.

A Cricbuzz report has claimed that the women’s team players, who are on a 23-month contract since August 21, 2023, are yet to be paid for the past four months.
