The salary of domestic cricketers in Pakistan has increased. PCB has increased their salary tremendously. Now if seen, this news seems good for the domestic cricketers of Pakistan. But, when we compare it with the salary of domestic cricketers of India, everything becomes clear. Then only one question remains, what is the benefit of such increase in salary? This question arises because even after the increase, the salary that domestic cricketers of Pakistan are getting is 5 times less than those playing Ranji in India.

Salary of Pakistani domestic cricketers increased

Pakistan Cricket Board has increased the salary of its domestic cricketers by placing them in 3 categories.

40 players have been placed in category one, who will get 550000 Pakistani rupees annually. There are 50 players in category 2, who will get 400000 Pakistani rupees annually and 60 players in category 3 will get 250000 Pakistani rupees annually. This amount that Pakistani cricketers used to get earlier ranged from 50000 Pakistani rupees to 300000 rupees.

Where is Rs 1 crore and where is just Rs 20 lakh?

However, if we look at the salary of Pakistani cricketers after the hike in Indian rupees, then category one players are not even getting 20 lakh rupees.

Whereas in India, the annual salary of a Ranji player is 1 crore rupees. It is clear that there is a big difference between the salary of domestic cricketers of Pakistan and India in Indian rupees. The salary of a domestic cricketer of Pakistan is 5 times less than that of a Ranji player in India.

BCCI has also increased the salary of its domestic cricketers this year. After the new salary hike, if an Indian cricketer plays at least 10 Ranji Trophy matches, he can earn from Rs 75 lakh to Rs 1 crore in the entire season.

However, this is not the first case of a huge difference being seen between Indian and Pakistani cricketers. When the WPL auction took place, after the amount received by Smriti Mandhana, it was revealed that her salary is more than Babar Azam's salary in PSL.
