PCB to initiate major surgery after Pakistan's exit from T20 World Cup

After humiliating exit from the T20 world cup 2024, the  Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to review central contracts of players. As per Geo News report, following the late-night consultations headed by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and the board officials,players with poor performances are expected to be demoted with regards to their central contracts in the first phase.
Meanwhile, several others are likely to lose their central contracts altogether.
The development comes as the Green Shirts have been eliminated from the ongoing mega event and failed to even proceed to the Super Eight stage of the tournament after losing their two initial matches against the new entrant United States and arch-rivals India.This is the third time in the tournament’s history that Pakistan has been eliminated in the league round. As per report,a group of three players in the Pakistan team were blackmailing PCB officials at the behest of the players' manager, who represents all three players and had pressurised the board to secure a significant remuneration increase in the players' central contracts.
It is to be noted that the players had pressurised former PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf to secure a three-year central contract last year, which came into effect from July 1, provisioning increased remunerations.Since then, the Men in Green have appeared and failed in multiple international tournaments including the Asia Cup 2023, ODI World Cup 2023 and the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. 
Furthermore, the national side also failed in the tour of Australia and New Zealand.However, the board will now decide on the prospects of keeping the current remuneration packages of the players.
