PCB awards Asia Cup winners
ESPNcricinfo staff
May 25, 2012
The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced cash awards for the players and support staff who were part of their successful Asia Cup campaign in Bangladesh in March. The board will award the players 400,000 Pakistan rupees (US$4300 approx) each, while the support staff will get Rs 200,000 apiece.
Pakistan's Asia Cup victory came at the end of a very successful season for them, in which they drew a Test series in the West Indies and won the ODIs there, beat Zimbabwe and Bangladesh on away tours, overpowered Sri Lanka in Tests and ODIs in the UAE and then whitewashed England 3-0 in the Tests in the UAE. The only glitch for them was the 4-0 ODI series loss to England in February.
At the felicitation function, the PCB also announced an increase of 25% in the retainer for centrally contracted players, and an increase of 10% in match fees. Forty-two players, who will be named on Saturday, will receive contracts this year. The last batch of contracts had expired on December 31, 2011.

@sangakarafan - When did Pak lose against Srilanka in Asia cup ? Infact, Pak won by 6 wkts with 61 balls remaining. Huhh... Pakistan and even Bangladesh Managed to kick India and SL out of the tournament. So accept the fact dude, Just see tha points table India and Srilanka were below Pak and Bangla thats why they played final and Pak won. AND YES WE CALL THEM ASIA CUP WINNERS
Posted byVery well done to Pakistan. Despite the rest of the cricketing world ostracising them they have still shone through and even improved in the rankings. If they had home test series they would easily be the worlds number one ranked team. This is coming from an Australian.
Posted by SangakaraFan on (May 27, 2012, 1:21 GMT)Asia cup winners??? hahahaa..Losing to India and Sri Lanka but won against low ranked bangladesh, do you call that Asia cup winners?? India & Sri Lanka are the best teams in Asia.
Posted byI am always of the view that the contribution in the winning is a pride and should not be translated into awards in terms of money this is how players looking at the national victory as a benefit of money.
They are already well-paid and whatever they are getting is enough for their living which substantiate the reason that the awards should not be paid in term of money.....sorry to say this is how the society seeing everything in terms of money at the end of day...this is why Pakistan is eager to participate in IPL at any cost even at the cost of self respect.
My suggestion is that they should be considered in getting the better contract and the respect earned and acknowledgement.............
