The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is taking decisive action following the national team's disappointing 104-run defeat against Bangladesh in the first Test at Mirpur. Acknowledging a trend of declining performances across all formats, the PCB plans to revise player contracts to make them more performance-oriented, effective from July 1. This new approach will involve assessing players based on their performances in series and tournaments, with the potential removal of underperforming players from the contracted list. The board is also considering the elimination of category A contracts, which were previously discarded. To bolster player fitness and skills, a comprehensive training and conditioning camp is scheduled after the home series against Australia, lasting until the team travels to the West Indies in late July. Additionally, the PCB is contemplating introducing financial incentives for players selected for red ball cricket, while also addressing concerns that players may be taking their positions for granted due to the allure of T20 leagues. This strategy aims to instill a greater sense of accountability and commitment among players.
