Prior to Pakistan Women three T20I series against South Africa starting next week, the players are training in the camp. Once the series begins, the players will receive allowances. Note that the choice represents a change in policy from the prior camps’ construction of the allowance system, and that it differs from the men’s national team’s management of it.
During their present training camp in Multan, which started on September 1 in advance of the impending Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, the Pakistani women’s cricket team has not been given daily allowances.
Previously, the women’s squad was given a daily stipend at training camps, according to an article. But unlike in past camps, where food were not supplied for all three meals a day, this time the PCB is housing camp participants in addition to providing the three meals. The report included information from a PCB official stating that the board regulation prohibited daily allowances above and beyond what was provided in the event that hotel accommodations and three meals a day were provided.
Even on the men’s side, this guideline is still in place, but it is rarely or never implemented. Apart from the housing and food that was supplied, the players at the last men’s training camp received daily allowances ahead of Pakistan’s home Test series against Bangladesh, which was overseen by Shan Masood. It should be noted that the allowances were regarded as compensation rather than the three complimentary full meals indicated earlier. The men’s squad has nearly always received daily allowances in the past camps over the years, with up to two meals being provided at no cost.
According to the report, women cricket players have not been well-received by the policy change. Some believe that after being away from home for a camp, they should be entitled to more than simply minimum accommodations and meals. As the Women in Green prepare to compete in the T20 World Cup 2024 in the United Arab Emirates next month, there is optimism that the situation will change soon.
