Prize money for the eight-nation Champions Trophy starting in Pakistan next week has been increased by 53 percent, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said yesterday.
Besides an impressive trophy, the winning side will earn a whopping $2.24 million, an ICC statement said, while the runners-up will receive $1.12 million.
“The total prize pool has increased by an impressive 53 percent from the 2017 edition, reaching $6.9 million,” the ICC said.
“The substantial prize pot underscores the ICC’s ongoing commitment to investing in the sport and maintaining the global prestige of our events.”
Each losing semi-finalist will take home $560,000, teams finishing in fifth or sixth place will receive $350,000, and the seventh and eighth-placed sides take home $140,000.
Last place is worth $125,000 – and a win in the group stages is worth around $34,000.
