Pakistan cricket staff (PCB) The announcement of the central agreements for the 2025-26 season, the crash sent shock waves through brotherhood. The fall of the two of the most popular cricket of Pakistan in the center of the storm, I’m a little bit and Muhammad Rizvanpenetration Category A for Category B. Decision that came after a few days after the disputed expulsion Pakistantoward Asian Cup 2025 The delegation notes a seismic change in the direction of Pakistan cricket and divides the fans in social media.
Babar Azam & Muhammad Rizvan in PCB’s central contracts
For years, Azam and Rizvan stood as the faces of Pakistan’s batting order, and the nation’s hopes in formats and consistently. Their grace is not a dramatic thing. Once the only two players in category A groups themselves with category B bilateral Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris raufand and prospective Spanish Ahmed Ahmed.
The decision is caused by a turn in philosophy. Heads Aqib Caved Duo’s T20I Holiday rates – Babar’s 129 and Rizwan openly criticized 125 – he claims that Pakistan does not comply with the new “aggressive cricket”. From the end of 2024, the Asian Cup and subsequent contract, the Asian Cup and subsequent contract are felt like a PCB.
The return was fast. Supporters, PCB moves very harshly, past Pacer Tanveer Ahmed Even the couple suggested to retire, retiring, how they are retiring, comparing their difficulties Virat Kohli They carefully managed career crossings.
Reduce contracts: money, status and recognition
Central Agreements in Pakistan are more than a salary in Cricket – status, recognition and impact marker. Traditionally, PKR in the month is 4.5 million (about $ 15,590), contracts allocated for the true superstars of the nation. On the controversy, the category B provides the categories of C and D in the PKR and 1.5 million to 1.5 million in categories of C and D.5 million.
Along with salaries, centralized contract players, the annual ICC annual ICC of the PCB increase in addition to these transactions.
2025-26 list, but signals sweeper change. The last memory does not hold the player a category for the first time. Including twelve new names Ahmet Daniyal, Hasan Nawaz, Mohammad Abbasand Sufyan MoqimI won the girl’s contracts. This time, as performers Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agaand Shadab Khan Rewarded with promotions in category C.
At the same time, including eight players from the previous period Aamir Jamal, Kamran Ghulam, and Usman khan – Absolutely lost contracts that emphasize the cruelty of Pakistan’s current selection policy.
The most talking signal is the intentional absence of any category. Eliminating the upper bracket, PCB intends to prevent inviolable superstars and prevent inviolable superstars, no matter how great the past contributions of a player.

Salman Aga is also a permanent member of the team in all three formats, and at the same time the captain of the team is in a format.
This Pro file, Rizwan and Babar, both were in a category.
Salman abused Agha and had to be in a category.
Salman is kept in order to equate Babar / Rizwa in B
