The
pay
increase
will
be
given
to
192
players
with
domestic
contracts
with
immediate
effect,
the
PCB
said.
The
increase
in
the
monthly
retainers
will
now
allow
domestic
players
in
first
class
and
grade-11
competitions
to
earn
between
140,000
to
250,000
per
month.
The
PCB
said
the
new
chairman
ordering
a
pay
rise
for
players
in
all
categories
means
those
in
the
lowest
D
category
will
see
an
increase
of
around
250
percent
in
their
monthly
retainers.
“It
is
our
duty
to
care
for
our
cricketers
and
continue
to
take
measures
which
strengthen
our
system,”
Ramiz
said.
“This
will
also
play
a
role
in
ending
any
uncertainty
surrounding
the
current
cricket
structure;
the
welfare
of
present
and
former
cricketers
is
paramount
to
me.”
The
new
chairman
also
said
that
the
board
would
soon
launch
an
Under-19
T20
league
to
strengthen
the
age-group
structure
and
ensure
that
young
cricketers
are
fully
equipped
for
the
modern-day
game.
Ramiz
also
promised
a
big
improvement
in
the
quality
of
pitches
in
domestic
cricket,
insisting
that
bowlers
have
to
work
hard
to
get
wickets
and
batsmen
are
given
conditions
where
they
can
make
big
scores.
