According to a official of the Faisalabad association, the players of Faisalabad Wolves which went to India by virtue of being the national T20 champions were unhappy at only getting paid around 600,000 rupees each.
"They are unhappy because the participation fee the PCB got from the Champions League organizers is around USD 500,000 dollars which is equavalent to Pakistani 50.3 million rupees," he said.
"In these circumstances the players appear justified in their protest as some of them have returned the cheques to the board," he said.
Interestingly, even last year when the Shoaib Malik led Sialkot Stallions team went to the Champions League in Sialkot they also complained about the low payments made to them by the board out of the participation fees they got from the organizers.

"It is unfair we are getting paid just 675,000 rupees while the board is taking the lions share of the money," one player said.
But a senior official of the board told PTI that they had not recieved complete 500,000 dollars as nearly 100,000 was deducted in taxes by the organizers as per rules.
