Pakistan Cricket Board announced yesterday that it has increased the pension amounts for its former test cricketers. The updates to the PCB Players’ Welfare Policy, which was last updated in January 2019, now include an annual inflation increase to ensure that there are no future delays in the increase in the pension amounts. Former Test cricketer and Prime Minister Imran Khan will receive PKR154,000 per month as pension, while 24 other former Test cricketers will receive PKR154,000 and seven will receive PKR148,000, and 32 will take PKR142,000.

The PCB also announced that it has added former chairman and Test cricketer Ramiz Raja to the list of pensioners, who will start receiving his pension from February 2023. In a statement, former PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja said, “It gives me immense pleasure and happiness to announce the increase in pension amounts and other amendments to the PCB Players’ Welfare Policy. With a former cricketer at the helm of Pakistan cricket affairs, the expectation was that I will always protect and look after the interests and welfare of all present and past cricketers. I am delighted that I have been able to fulfill another of my commitments and have amended the policy in such a way that there will now be an annual increase in the pension amounts.”
