"This was an agreement signed before the World Cup and the players agreed to performance-based terms and conditions," Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) spokesman Samiul Hasan was quoted as saying by the BBC Sports website on Friday. "The agreement was that if they failed to go beyond the preliminary rounds, they would face 50 per cent deductions from their total earnings from the tournament," Hasan said. The accounts department of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is learnt to have worked out the amount to be deducted from each player's total earnings in the World Cup. PCB officials said: "The players can't complain, because they all agreed to the World Cup contract prepared by the Board which was a performance based one.” "The performance based formula is simple. If the players perform well to a certain level they get additional percentage of their total earnings, which includes match fees and tour fees. If they perform badly they lose a percentage of their earnings," the official said. "The 50 per cent deduction was agreed upon in the contract for failing to qualify for the Super Sixes. And similarly if they had qualified for the final or won it each player stood to earn a bonus of Rupees 50 lakh (approximately $ 90,000) apart from the prize-money and their regular fees," the official said. in-depth coverage > Cricket World Cup 2003 > |
