Despite their early exit from the T20 World Cup, the Pakistan cricket team is poised to benefit significantly financially. Each player will receive Rs. 1,674,336 in match fees, plus a daily allowance exceeding Rs. 550,000 per person.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) plans to distribute $247,500, or around Rs. 70 million, to the team for their participation. This amount will be shared among the 15 players and management, resulting in over Rs. 4.3 million per person.
In addition, the team will receive an extra $62,308, roughly Rs. 17.5 million, for their two match victories, which translates to about Rs. 1.1 million per player.

Altogether, each player stands to gain over Rs. 7.6 million, not including earnings from sponsor logos.
These financial gains come after the players negotiated favorable terms in their central contracts last year. They secured a 3% share of the ICC earnings for 2023-24, adding Rs. 1.53 million to their monthly earnings.
Match fees under the new contract also saw significant increases: Rs. 1,257,795 for a Test match, Rs. 644,620 for an ODI, and Rs. 418,584 for a T20 match.
