"I made seven to eight crore rupees" Shoaib Akhtar

Seven crore rupees translate to 750000 US dollars approximately. This is a small amount when compared with what cricketer from other countries earn. According to the report, which compared the earnings of cricketers from different countries, Pakistani cricketers earn amount roughly equal to UK average wage. According to this report published during 2010 central contract earnings of Pakistani players at that time was 22500£ per annum, per player. The trend around the globe has been changed players are now paid a percentage of board’s annual earning.
Pakistan cricket board should not only take care of international cricketer but also should pay attention to domestic cricketer players. Although Pakistan premiere league can prove to be a ray of hope for these players as well as many aspirant cricketers.
