KARACHI, Jan 14 (Reuters) - The Pakistan Cricket Board has extended the central contracts of 31 players and retained suspended off-spinner Saeed Ajmal in the top category.
“The Board has decided that the central contracts awarded to players last year should be extended to March 31 this year. A review will be held on the players performances and fitness after the World Cup,” a board official told Reuters on Wednesday. Two players have been given new central contracts, fast bowler Sohail Khan and leg spinner Yasir Shah who have both been named in the World Cup squad.
