Faheem Ashraf? Surely a miss print?

 

[Hitman]

The highest earner receives $300,000?

 

[RidiculousMan]

The highest earner receives $300,000?

Officially that we know. But yea.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Faheem Ashraf? Surely a miss print?

Faheem and Babar are both in Platinum category so maybe that is why.

 

[Hawkeye]

Babar Azam
Shadab Khan
Rizwan
Naseem Shah

All earning 220k. What a shame!

The exact reason why we are such a poor T20/ODI team.

Keep rewarding mediocrity!!

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

What is Kane Williamson being paid in? Peanuts?

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

The highest earner receives $300,000?

The foreign players/local stars generally earn a bit more through under the table incentives. Alot of times owners will give players expensive phones, cars, plots of land etc.

Warner
Mitchell
Saim
Shaheen
Short
Allen

All justified


The rest are not.

They are getting this pay bracket with losses to USA, Ireland, New Zealand C and Zimbabwe

Pakistan as a nation should not cry about the money it’s politicians are embezzling if they support this rubbish

 

[Rana]

Heard reports Warner will rake in close to half a million with add ons.

 

[Rana]

Salman Iqbal is turning up as Florentino Perez this season

Man was willing to break the bank!

 

[Bewal Express]

Faheem and Babar are both in Platinum category so maybe that is why.

Putting Faheem in Platinum is akin to me being in gold. Just rubbish

 

[Rana]

No.

Each team has a commercial budget from which they can bump up the pay. They will get them advertisement deals or TV show appearances/interviews

That is part of it too.

But I have seen alot of under the table gifts being given to players aswell which are of significant monetary value.
