Pakistan’s newly appointed Twenty20 skipper Mohammad Hafeez, former captain Shoaib Malik and off-spinner Saeed Ajmal are among the eight players who have signed the central contracts offered to them by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).Sources within the PCB confirmed Monday that Malik and other players signed the contracts after learning that the PCB had rejected demands from some of the players to further increase their salaries, which were increased recently.The PCB had announced a 25 percent raise in the monthly central contract retainers and another 10 percent hike in the match fees. “Malik signed the contract followed by others, including the national T20 captain Mohammad Hafeez, Saeed Ajmal and some of the younger players in Sri Lanka and handed it over to the team manager,” the source said.Meanwhile, the sources also said that senior players like Misbahul Haq, Younus Khan and Shahid Afridi had not signed their contracts so far and had told the board they wanted to consult their legal advisors first.
