Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to make three categories of the players at regional level in which top 20 players of each region will get the central contracts. PCB has taken a first step to support the regional cricket associations by offering different financial packages while the cricketers playing at the regional level will also be getting a certain amount in remunerations following the new central contract policy as under:

1. Only top five players will be taken in the “A” category and they will get Rs. 20,000 each per month for one year.

2. Next top ten players will come in the “B” category and will get Rs. 15,000 apiece

3. The remaining five will fall in “C” category and will receive Rs. 10,000 each.

4. The playing eleven members of each region will get Rs. 10,000 for every first class match.

5. All 15 players of a region will receive Rs. 500 as daily allowance.

In spite of the Pakistan Cricket Board plan, remunerations offered to players were still less than satisfactory when compared to the policy of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) which had been paying a handsome amount to its affiliated city associations to distribute among the players as well as to run their affairs independently. BCCI had recently paid a huge amount of Rs. Twenty million to the Delhi Cricket Association (DCA) as its share. In the last season, the DCA paid Ts. 110,000 to each player for one-first-class match.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had also decided to help to regional associations with financial help to run their affairs. The regional associations were asked to inform about their Office expenses which included:

1. Office-rent
2. Purchase cost of fax
3. Computer
4. Furniture and
5. Salaries of office assistants etc.

Furthermore, PCB will also facilitate the region in cricket development plan that include coaching schemes for different age groups. PCB has also asked from the regions to inform about maintenance expenses of grounds in their respective areas other than those which are being controlled by the PCB as well.
