The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is currently preparing to announce the new central contracts next week, and the biggest shock could be for Babar after he was overlooked for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 in the UAE next month.

Sources revealed that Usman Khan, wicketkeeper Haseebullah, and pacer Khurram Shahzad may not make the cut to the PCB Central Contracts 2025-26 list this time. The PCB’s final decision will depend on recent performances, fitness standards, and future plans.
PCB set to drop ICC revenue share clause from central contracts
If this happens, contracted cricketers are likely to see a dip in their overall income. The PCB has reportedly taken the decision amid growing frustration within the board over the team’s poor performances across the formats. This could be the final year for the clause.
Interestingly, the PCB has raised the retainership budget by 37%—jumping to nearly 1.17 billion PKR from last year’s 854 million—but they have no plans to increase match fees. This means players will continue to earn the same: around 12 lakh PKR for a Test, six lakhs for an ODI, and four lakhs for a T20I.
Javed Miandad slams selectors for axing Babar Azam from Asia Cup 2025
Miandad said in a viral video, “They don’t even know anything. Have they ever played cricket? People who have played at a certain level are now deciding on Babar Azam’s selection. What can they really see? Babar Azam is a great player. Ups and downs are part of the game. Cricket is like a radio—you have to tune in to the right station. When you walk out to the crease and the bowler comes at you, you think to yourself, “Yes, I can do this.”
