There is a lack of money in the Pakistani team! A big rift between the board and the players

New Delhi. Pakistan cricket is going through upheaval these days. There have been reports of a rift between the players and the team board for several days. The players of the team are not ready to sign the contract offered by the PCB. Recently, the team played a Test series against Sri Lanka without a contract. The PCB contract of the team players has expired on June 30. Now the secret of the players’ discontent has been revealed by a source as to why the players are not ready to sign a contract.

The Pakistan team will start the ODI series against Afghanistan from August 22. After this, the Pakistan team will spread its wings in the Asia Cup. But till now the Pakistan Cricket Board has not been able to convince the players. If sources are to be believed, the root of the dispute is the demand for players’ share and their digital rights. Companies like Rerio or Dream Sports, led by two Singapore-based Indians, are paying handsome sums to sell sports NFTs to players. Players want the board to give them the freedom to negotiate or give them a bigger share of their earnings.

What did the source say?

According to the source, “The view of the players is that other cricket boards are not involved in the sale of players’ digital rights/NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) or have a proper agreement with them regarding revenue sharing from this avenue.” The sale of rights gives a share, but according to the players, it is not enough for them.

It was further stated, ‘The board has almost doubled the number of monthly central contract retainers and increased the match fee. But players want a bigger chunk of their digital rights sales. The board also wants to increase the revenue it earns from the sale of broadcast rights.
