The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will implement a new formats-based central contract system, moving away from the existing classification that categorized players from A to D. Under the new system, players will be classified based on their specialization in different formats of the game. This change aims to align player contracts with performance and specialization in formats such as Tests, ODIs, and T20s. The PCB has not yet announced specific details regarding the implementation timeline or affected players.
