Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to make a massive salary hike in their new central contract, reported by Cricinfo.
According to the reports, skipper Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi are placed in Category A in the contract list which would earn PKR 4.5 Million a month.
Category B players are in line to receive PKR 3 million (USD 10,600 approx), while those in category C and D will get between PKR 0.75-1.5 million (USD 2650-5300 approx).

The PCB is planning to change the central contract format from last year, which separated players based on their participation in red ball and white ball cricket. The four categories of contracts will revert to the format used two years ago.
However, the PCB's annual earnings from the ICC's new revenue-sharing model are expected to more than double to PKR 9.6 billion, approximately USD 34 million, prompting the board to provide higher compensation to Pakistan cricketers than ever before.
