PCB shows the way
May 06, 2021
The Pakistan Cricket Board has introduced a stimulating set of reforms on parental support for both male and female cricketers. The cricket board has even gone beyond what is incumbent under the existing law in the country, as it unveils its Parental Support Policy. Under the new policy, female cricketers will be entitled to year-long paid maternity leave; they can also opt for a non-playing role as they get closer to their maternity leave; when leaving for maternity leave, they will be guaranteed a contract for the following year; and on their return, the cricket board will provide them support to recover after the delivery. Male cricketers are also entitled to a month-long paid paternity leave.
Desk Report In a groundbreaking set of reforms, the PCB announced significant new parental support policies for both men and women cricketers.
In a very welcome update in policies, the Pakistan Cricket Board has introduced its new Parental Support Policy. The policy is intended to motivate and support athletes in their journey to parenthood, through pregnancy and after birth, accommodating both male and female athletes under its contracts.
As part of a global trend that has seen industry and economy-wide reforms in parental support policies, the PCB has taken a much awaited step. Athletes live a tough life when viewed through the lens of parenthood, their strict training schedules and year-long playing schedules leave little room for them to be able to plan parenthood, though several do have the aspirations.
