PCB, in an apparent bid to boost the players' morale before the ICC World T20, has increased their match fees and offered bonus.

In the new central contracts awarded to the players, the Board has increased the match fees of all the three categories for the 20-over format.

"The Board has not increased the match fees for Test or one-day internationals that remain the same as last year," a source in the PCB said.

The match fees for T20 matches has been increased for 'A' category players from Rs 1,50,000 to 2,50,000, for 'B' category players from Rs 1,00,000 to 2,00,000 and for 'C' category from Rs 75,000 to 1,50,000.

The match fees for Tests and ODIs remain the same, which are for 'A' category Rs 3,50,000 and 3,00,000, for 'B' category Rs 3,00,000 and 2,50,000 and for 'C' category Rs 2,50,000 and 2,00,000 respectively.

The ICC World Twenty20 will commence from April 30.

The Board has also offered other financial incentives to players including a bonus of 300 per cent of their total match fees for winning an ICC event, 200 per cent bonus for winning a one-day or Test series against India or any top-four teams.

The Board has also introduced individual incentives like a prize of Rs 1,00,000 for a run out, or a bonus of Rs 3,00,000 for scoring a Test century and 5,00,000 for making a double hundred.
