A viral video claims that Pakistani cricketers Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Salman Ali Agha earned approximately PKR 1.75 crore (around 6 million or 60 lakh Indian Rupees) over a two-month period. The video, shared by Huzaifa Khan, a sports correspondent for ARY News in Karachi, has been widely circulated on social media as fans criticize the team's poor performance in their recent Test series against England.
Khan stated that the trio earned around 15 lakh PKR per Test match, which added up to 60 lakh PKR in match fees for their four appearances across the West Indies and England tours. Additionally, they received a monthly retainer of 40 to 50 lakh PKR, amounting to 80 to 90 lakh PKR over the two-month period, and daily allowances of around $150, totaling 25 lakh PKR for the 60-day stay.
The journalist emphasized that Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Salman Ali Agha were part of Category A players under the PCB's central contract, while other players like Saud and Shan were in lower categories. The controversy over the earnings has intensified the criticism of the Pakistan Cricket Team, with the PKR 1.75 crore figure presented as a claim rather than an official release from the PCB.
