In the ongoing HBL PSL, participating cricketers have received their compensations. 

According to the agreements, over 70% of the amount has been paid to most. The remaining amount will be given after the league. 

Most players have also received a daily allowance of $50. The rate of the dollar has been fixed at 281 PKR. Thus, each player is receiving Rs. 14,000 per day. 

Upon the decision of the teams in the playoffs stage, the payment for the matches thereafter will also be made.

On the other hand, team owners are conditionally allowed to sit in the dugout. They need to inform the organizers in advance. Then, they are not allowed to go anywhere during the match. If they leave, they cannot return to the dugout. They are also not allowed to carry mobile phones, smartwatches, or any other communication devices. 

However, if they sit in a separate designated area for owners, no prior permission is required. After the match, team owners can also meet the players in the dressing room.
