As per the sources, the finance department is waiting for information from the franchises regarding the local players of the other two teams. 

However, a team official has said, "they have no problem with the delay, as the payment is made by the PCB and not by the franchises."

PCB sources have also said, "the delay has nothing to do with the current economic situation in the country and that they have enough money to pay for the PSL."

Regarding the local players of the four teams, cheques were supposed to be given to them in Islamabad yesterday. However, the finance department is waiting for information from the franchises regarding the local players of the other two teams.

As soon as these details are received, payment has been assured within 24 hours.

By Monday, all foreign cricketers will have been paid 70% of their salaries, and the same week, Pakistan players will also receive the same amount.

It is important to note that the remaining 30% will be paid after the end of the event as per the agreed procedure.

All participating players had already been paid the daily allowance of the initial stage, which was paid at the rate of 11 thousand rupees per day. The rate of 50 dollars has been calculated as 220.
