Babar Azam’s 15 crore contract with ILT Twenty could not be settled
It has been reported that captain Babar Azam was also offered a contract of 15 crore Pakistani rupees. He was also considered as the ambassador of the league.
While some aspects of the deal were finalized, payment terms and image rights could not be settled.
The Bangladesh Premier League is likely to start on January 10, with several Pakistani players including Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan participating in their off days.
Shaheen Afridi has signed an annual contract with ILT20 worth $4 lakh and will receive an additional payment for image rights.
In this way he can earn around 150 million rupees per year. His contract includes a clause that he will be one of the highest paid players for three consecutive years.
In the third edition, if another player joins the league with a higher fee, Shaheen Afridi’s salary will automatically increase. Remember that every league has a certain limit on player fees.
However, if a big star comes, they increase the compensation through image rights. In this case, the player may be asked to promote the league through social media posts, do photo shoots, or participate in events as part of a separate contract.
