After payment delays, Pakistani Players Threaten To Boycott Sponsorship Logos And World Cup 2023 Promotions, According To Reports. After the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) failed to settle the players’ wages, the Pakistani players threatened to withdraw from sponsorship promotions and not wear logos on their World Cup jerseys.
According to allegations in Cricket Pakistan, the players have gone four months without receiving their match fees. The players are no longer willing to wear sponsor insignia on their shirts as the World Cup approaches. The younger players are particularly having financial difficulties as a result of the board’s inability to clear the payments.

The board’s consideration of player central contracts has not yet produced any fruitful outcomes. Since payments have not been made for the past four months, this looks to be a significant problem before a big event like the World Cup.
“We are happy to represent Pakistan without compensation, but we are unsure why we should highlight logos of sponsors connected to the board. Similarly, we have the right to deny invitations to promotional events and other activities. We won’t participate in the ICC’s promotional and commercial efforts during the World Cup either, a Pakistani cricket player said under the condition of anonymity.
The proposed contract arrangement, according to inside sources, gave top cricketers in all three forms an enticing monthly retainer price of PKR 4.5 million. However, after tax deductions, the players only receive up to 2.2 to 2.3 million, which is why they are requesting a raise in compensation.
The players are requesting that the board divide the money that the PCB has made from the ICC and sponsors. Based on PSL contracts, sponsorship agreements, and bilateral series, the PCB receives from the ICC a revenue sharing scheme worth around 9.8 billion rupees, which is the foundation of their claim.
The money distributed to the players, however, is one billion rupees short, or 10% less, than what the board is paid by the ICC income share. The PCB claims to be providing a fair contract, but the players’ managers or agents are interfering with the agreement by their indulgence.
