As Pakistan Women's Team set to open their Women's T20 World Cup campaign on October 3 in the UAE against Sri Lanka, players haven't received their salaries for the last four months. These players signed a 23-month contract with PCB on August 1, 2023, and have not received money since June 2024. These contracts were to continue till June 30, 2025, and was expected to be revised after 12 months. However, no intimation or changes of such have been noticed. Other than this delay in salaries, the players are not being given a daily allowance for their training camp in Multan from September 1 onwards for the preparation of the home series against South Africa. It has been reported that indeed, the support staff at the camp did receive their allowances. PCB told CricBuzz: "It is a work in progress. As soon as the lists are finalised and approved, contracts will be offered with effect from 1 July 2024. There is too much going on and there is lack of time to address all matters." Salaries for the Pakistan men's team too have been delayed for four months; however, reportedly, reasons for delays are not the same for both the men's and the women's teams.

India, England, and New Zealand, for example, have pay parity when it comes to match fees for their men's and women's players. South Africa and the West Indies have Memorandum of Understanding agreements on ways to move toward pay parity. For example, there is no players' association in Pakistan to advocate for the rights of Pakistani cricketers. Well, countries which are yet to reach pay parity have also more to offer their women's cricketers than what Pakistan is offering. Sri Lankan women take home an amount of USD 750 per match and also get a bonus of USD 250 if they win whereas Bangladeshi players manage approximately USD 427 for T20I and USD 854 for every ODI- both two amounts higher than what Pakistani women take home. The PCB has said it will spend USD 600,000 more on women's cricket than it did the last season but is not releasing those specifics yet. The spending on women's cricket is less than men's cricket. Both in terms of spending and match fee, the differences for Full Member Nations and the PCB have one of the highest disparities. In the recent Pakistan One-Day Cup, mentors of the five teams were being awarded three-year contracts, with each one receiving approximately PKR 5 million in salary.
