Pakistan Cricket Team Stars Demand Resolution Over Contract Future
Pakistan’s top cricket stars are expressing their discontentment with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for not providing a resolution over their contract future. With the central contracts expiring on June 30, Babar Azam and company are currently competing in the SL vs PAK series without a deal in place. The players have requested a substantial increase in their salaries while hoping for the entire system to be restructured to meet their needs.
Players Seek Talks With Zaka Ashraf
As reported by Cricket Pakistan, the players have yet to sign an agreement regarding a contract extension. Babar and his team have presented a wide range of issues that they would like to discuss with Zaka Ashraf, the chair of the PCB management committee. When Najam Sethi was in charge, a 45% raise was proposed, however, the players are now striving for more comprehensive deals that come with benefits from the PCB.
Comparatively Lower Salaries for Pakistan Stars
Multiple reports have highlighted the fact that Pakistan cricket team stars receive comparatively lower salaries than their rivals. Babar Azam, Pakistan’s skipper and the World No.1 ODI batsman, is believed to be earning less than $1500 per month.
Conclusion
The Pakistan cricket team stars have made it clear that they are not content with the current contract system and the lack of resolution from the PCB. They are seeking a restructured system that would provide them with more benefits and better salaries. Until then, the players remain uncertain about their future.
