After violent criticism, the PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi has now appointed a review of the decision that has raised questions about the financial stability of the board of directors.

Why did PCB reduce the match fees?

The decision to reduce the game fees was initially implemented by the domestic department of PCB as part of the wider budget adjustments.

This did not fit well with the Cricket Community, as many asked whether the board had to fight financially. The counter reaction has now forced the circuit board to rethink its attitude.

According to the reduction in the game fees, PCB has also introduced several other strategies to reduce costs, which has affected the domestic cricket directly.

This includes reducing the quality of the hotel accommodation and travel preparations for players as well as the termination of certain player contracts.

According to PCB sources, these measures were necessary due to the unexpected increase in the number of domestic tournaments this season.

While the PCB has attributed these cuts to an extended domestic calendar, the widespread criticism has raised doubts about the financial position of the board of directors.

The situation worsened when the PCB set the national U19 championship abruptly only one day after the beginning.
