Faheem Ashraf? Surely a miss print?
 
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!!

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.

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
 
Heard reports Warner will rake in close to half a million with add ons.
 
Salman Iqbal is turning up as Florentino Perez this season

Man was willing to break the bank!

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.
 
Daryl Mitchell justifying his price tag, first fifty in PSL for him and that too against arch rivals of his side. Bravo 👏 👏

So far 57*(32) against KK while playing for LQ.

na he had to be placed in platinum as he was quite good in the last few psls. If he was not moved below, Islamabad United would had kept him and would had made their team way more stronger
 
Maxwell will join PSL next year, his time is up.
All the IPL washouts are top earners in the PSL. Lol. :ROFLMAO:

Wow im really happy for the women.
How does the math work for this however. Is women’s cricket profitable like that?
 
I hope people can realize that with that money most Pakistani cricketers will be able to marry a much more beautiful women who will be obedient, sweet, submissive, will treat her husband like a God and bless him minimum 3-4 kids and make him an ultimate winner in life.

Whereas IPL with all its jaw dropping money will make majority of Bharatiya cricketers fall in trap of gold digging Instagram models and cheerleaders or control freak psychotic feminists who will waste their time, ruin their career, ruin their reputation, humiliate them with a divorce ultimately and leave them in a mid life crisis.
 
Happy for Warner Brother. 300k + add ons like hairdryer and fridge. Good for him.

This is impressive but let’s be honest….it’s not really a fair payment for the value and standard they bring to the sport.

That’s quite good money tbh.

Extrapolate that for the whole year easily close to 600 k to 900 k for top athletes. If psl was played 3 times a yea

Which is a possibility in the future the way things are shaping up

Yea not surprised so double that figure most likely

Imagine if they play psl 2 to 3 times a years. Why will they even bother play international cricket??

How can you go tell a kid not to play psl for like a 20 over game and instead focus on test cricket where you will be underpaid and forced to slog for 5 days. But tests does bring notoriety and endorsement money though.
