LAHORE
\nThe Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reviewed the domestic match fees policy for players who have central contracts with the board, according to which they will be entitled to the same match fee, for playing domestic cricket, as other cricketers.
\nA few years back, the PCB had decided that if a centrally contracted cricketer plays domestic cricket, he\/she would be given 50% of the match fee, as per their central contract, for playing in a domestic cricket match.
\nThe PCB had taken this decision to attract cricketers who had central contracts with the board to play in domestic matches.
\nThe PCB, however, has abruptly changed the policy, as per reports, and has decided that the players who enjoy central contracts will be paid the same amount of domestic match fees as everyone else.
\nWhen contacted, the PCB said it has ended the discrimination of perks and salaries at all levels with the new policy.
\nThe PCB said that the seniority slab system to determine match fees was no longer applicable, adding that if the compensation for playing in international matches was the same then the same practice should also be adopted when it comes to domestic matches.
