The national team’s players’ monthly salary have been made available to the public by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). These compensation figures shed light on players’ earnings without taking into account any extra perks from sponsorships.
Breakdown of Salary Categories:
Category A (Rs. 4,500,000 per month):
- Players: Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan
Category B (Rs. 3,000,000 per month):
- Players: Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah
Category C (Rs. 750,000 to Rs. 1,500,000 per month):
- Example: Imad Wasim
Category D (Rs. 750,000 to Rs. 1,500,000 per month):
- Players: Iftikhar Ahmed, Hasan Ali, Saim Ayub
The base monthly salaries of the players are shown by these values. Members of the national team also receive performance incentives and match money for all three formats of cricket cricket: Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), One Day Internationals (ODIs), and Test matches. Their total income is greatly increased by these bonuses.
The PCB decided to provide these salary details in light of continuing debates and evaluations of the team’s most recent on-field accomplishments. The board hopes to answer public queries about player contracts and improve transparency by providing these financial details. Top-tier athletes have access to significant financial incentives, as demonstrated by the disclosed salaries, which also show a structured pay hierarchy for other squad members. The PCB’s action aims to shed light on the financial aspects of Pakistani cricket and the salaries of its players.
