For the players who compete in the upcoming National T20 Cup, the PCB has reduced the match fees sharply. Participants will find a match of PKR 10,000 (about $ 35 US $), which is 75 % from the last tournament KPR 40,000 match fee.
Under the current chairman Mohsin Naqvi, in view of the major expenses in the PCB, the reduction in match fees seems more important.
He immediately took office as a chair last year. Later it was said that the funds in the PCB treasury were not “lock -off” and would instead use Pakistan cricket and its players to help.
Since then, the PCB has had Made Expensive but essential stadiums improved, hired foreign coaches on high -paying contracts, and dismissed five teachers who were paid 5 million in a month. In addition, he organized a domestic one -day event, which has a tenfold reward for rivals.
A PCB official told ESPN Cranefo that there were no financial concerns over the decision to reduce payments for the National T20 Cup match.
In fact, PCB believes that more domestic tournament, such as the Champions T20 Cup, which was held in December 2024 (despite just five teams), has increased the chances of players throughout the season.
Both the 50 overs and the first class event follow the Champions Cup structure, which is comprised of five top teams of players. The board feels that the reduction in match fees has not translated the total revenue reduction as some players are also paid monthly salary by a department that hires them for competitions like the President’s Trophy.
On March 14, matches from three cities of 39 – Rasalabad, Lahore, and Multan – will start the National T20 Cup. The final is scheduled for March 27 in Faisalabad.
The national team will not play for New Zealand for three ODIs and five T20s, many top Pakistani cricket players will not be able to play.
