As per the new model, the six Cricket Associations will provide year-long contracts to 32 players each to provide them stable income. The 192 contracted players will earn PKR600,000 per annum on the basis of PKR50,000 monthly retainers.
Previously, the regional cricketers at the first-class level were solely reliant on the match-fees.
