LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has started exploring possible adjustments in the categories of central contracts as previous contracts of 20 players will expire on June 30, sources claimed.
According to the details, for the new contracts – due to be issued on July 1 – the cricket board is considering reshuffling, promoting, and demoting players through different categories.
Sources further claimed that the young players and the top performers of the recently concluded domestic season are more likely to get their names in the central contracts.
Whereas, the left-handed all-rounder Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Wasim Jr., and Hari Rauf may be awarded the contracts.
The right-arm pacer Hasan Ali is likely to be downgraded and Sarfraz Ahmed, the former captain and wicketkeeper-batter, will be challenged for the C category, as will the names of Shan Masood and Haider Ali.
It is pertinent to mention here that the detailed meetings regarding the central contracts will start after Eid-ul-Fitr and the contracts will be rewarded in four categories – A, B, C, and Emerging.
