No Daily Allowance For Pakistan Women Cricketers In National Camps. Reason Is...

14.09.2024 - 20:12 sports.ndtv.com

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to scrap the daily allowances of women players reporting for national camps. The decision to not give any sort of daily allowances to the players has left many disappointed and upset. "The players are not being given daily allowances because the board is now providing them accommodation and three full meals during the day," a PCB official said.

But the players, attending the training camp presently in Multan for the home series against South Africa women's team, feel that the decision was not just as they had assembled from different parts of the country.

The South African team has already reached Multan and is preparing for the white-ball series from September 17, looked upon as a preparation for the ICC Women's T20 Cup World Cup in UAE next month.

The interesting thing is that the players of Pakistan men's team are offered the option of getting two full meals in a day and accommodation and a daily allowance.

England captain Ben Stokes is still a doubtful starter for the side's first Test against Pakistan, starting on October 7 in Multan. Stokes is recovering from a hamstring injury sustained during The Hundred and missed England's 2-1 series victory over Sri Lanka, with Ollie Pope leading the team in his absence. “I think he's got to do a few more tests, but he's been doing some running and stuff. He seems to be doing well, recovering well from his injury, (but) we don't know just yet. We feel ready, whatever team comes out it will be a nice balance either way. We've got a really deep squad with plenty of options with the ball and with the bat as well,” said opener Zak Crawley to reporters after England held its first practice session.

Pakistan Test skipper Shan Masood backed star batter Babar Azam to come good during the home Test series against England, saying that he does not look out of form and is still team's number one batter.

In his last eight Tests, Babar's performances have been sub-par, scoring 317 runs at an average of 21.13, without a fifty to his name. His best score is 41.
