Lahore, 27 September 2023: The Pakistan Cricket Board
confirmed that it has successfully negotiated a three-year central contacts
deal with its senior players that will run from July 1 2023 to June 30, 2026.
As many as 25 cricketers will be offered a momentous deal that will include a
portion of ICC revenue.
The contacts' three-year tenure will have its
financial model locked in for the time period. However, player performance will
be evaluated every 12 months.

each of which has significantly higher monthly fees. |

players' match-winning qualities.

compensation will include ICC revenue.
