LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday unveiled a new framework for awarding central contracts to players from the next fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026, while making no changes to either the national selection committee or the coaching staff.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, at a press conference held at a local hotel, made the announcements. He was accompanied by the High Performance Centre Director Aaqib Javed, white-ball head coach Mike Hesson, PCB Chief Medical Officer Dr Javed Mughal and other officials.
Earlier, the PCB chairman also met all 49 players of Pakistan’s red- and white-ball squads, who are currently attending training camps in Lahore, and briefed them on the new central contract system.
Interestingly, Naqvi had hinted during a media briefing on Saturday that several changes could be made within the PCB set-up. However, Monday’s announcement focused primarily on reforms to the central contracts system.
