LAHORE: The PCB has said there has never been a delay in player payments in the Pakistan Super League. The statement came after a report by cricket’s global players’ union which registered reports of late or non-payment across several major franchise leagues over the last 24 months. The Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations (FICA) launched a new ‘leagues hub’ on Wednesday morning, which is designed to be a resource for players, their agents and players’ associations to help them navigate what they described as the “Wild West” of global franchise leagues.
FICA said that one player in four has experienced payment issues in sanctioned leagues and that it has received reports of payment issues in a number of major franchise tournaments. These include the IPL and WPL, the Bangladesh Premier League, the Lanka Premier League, Canada’s Global T20, Major League Cricket and the Abu Dhabi T10, as well as the PSL.
Usman Wahla, the PCB’s director of international cricket operations, denied that the PSL has ever paid players late.
The PSL’s contract terms stipulate that players should receive 70% of their fee within seven days of their arrival in Pakistan, and the remaining 30% within 40 days of their final league match.
