Reportedly, the payments of the players participating in the Pakistan Junior League were withheld by the previous administration. Similarly, many of the contracted cricketers in the domestic cricketers did not receive their due payments.
Meanwhile, Sethi-led interim PCB management, who took charge of the board only recently after the federal government scrapped the 2019 PCB constitution, on Monday formally approved the notifications for the restoration of Departments/Services Organisations, Regions and District/Zonal Cricket Associations under the PCB Constitution 2014.
The move is believed to revive the departmental structure of domestic cricket in accordance with the federal government’s decision to restore departmental sports in the country.
