Who is the richest cricketer of Pakistan? Neither Babar, nor Akhtar, nor Afridi are the richest

 

The Board of Control for Cricket in India ie BCCI is the richest cricket board in the world and perhaps that is why cricket fans around the world keep talking about the salary and lifestyle of Indian players. There is also curiosity among the fans to know that which player is the richest? Even today we are going to tell you that which cricketer earns how much and which cricketer is the richest, but the only difference will be that today we will talk about the cricketers of our neighboring country Pakistan.

Yes, Pakistan cricket team has produced many wonderful cricketers over the years. Which includes many star players from Javed Miandad to Imran Khan, from Wasim Akram to Waqar Younis, from Shahid Afridi and Inzamam-ul-Haq to the present Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi. When it comes to comparison with Indian cricketers, Pakistanis are also no less talented but there is a big difference between the players of both these countries when it comes to salary and lifestyle.

A report says that Pakistan's captain and their star batsman Babar Azam earns 12 times less than what Virat Kohli earns. Not only this, despite PSL contract, international matches and PCB contract, several business assignments, Babar is not even the richest cricketer Pakistan has ever produced. In such a situation, the question must be arising in your mind that if Babar Azam is not the richest cricketer of Pakistan, then who is he? If we talk about Pakistan's richest cricketer, then it does not even include the names of veterans like Shahid Afridi, Wasim Akram or Shoaib Akhtar.

At present, if we talk about the richest Pakistani cricketer, then former Pakistani captain Imran Khan is on the top, whose lifetime earnings together make him the richest Pakistani cricketer in Pakistan. According to a report, Imran Khan is the richest cricketer in Pakistan with a net worth of USD 70 million, which is close to 10.9 billion Pakistani rupees. A report in blog.siasat.pk said, "He (Imran) has a net worth of US$70 million, making him the richest cricketer in Pakistan."

The same report states that, as of June 2021, Babar Azam was not even in the top 10 list of richest Pakistani cricketers in the country's cricket history. At number two is Shahid Afridi with assets of 7.3 billion Pakistani rupees and at number three is Shoaib Malik, husband of Sania Mirza, who earns 3.9 billion Pakistani rupees. The fourth name in this list is shocking. Mohammad Hafeez has an annual earning of PKR 3.6 billion while Azhar Ali has a net worth of PKR 2.3 billion and is at the fifth position.
