PCB Preparing Performance-Linked Overhaul of Pakistan Players’ Central Contracts

The board aims to link pay to performance to raise standards across formats.

Overview

  • PCB sources said Friday the board will revamp contracts before July 1 as the 2023 model ends June 30.
  • The proposed framework would judge and pay players by series and tournament results rather than a flat annual tier.
  • Draft clauses under review tighten fitness benchmarks and could add limits or conditions on playing in foreign T20 leagues.
  • Several incumbents are at risk of losing deals, with Mohammad Nawaz, Abdullah Shafique, Faheem Ashraf, Hussain Talat and Khushdil Shah named by multiple reports.
  • Emerging batters Azan Awais and Abdullah Fazal are under consideration for promotion as chairman Mohsin Naqvi weighs the final list.
