Despite an early exit in the first round of the T20 World Cup, the Pakistan cricket team is set for substantial financial rewards. Each player will receive Rs. 1,674,336 as match fees and an additional daily allowance exceeding Rs. 550,000.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) will distribute $247,500 (approximately Rs. 70 million) to the team for their participation in the T20 World Cup. This amount will be shared among the 15 players and the management, resulting in over Rs. 4.3 million per person.
For winning two matches, the team will receive an additional $62,308 (around Rs. 17.5 million), translating to about Rs. 1.1 million per player. In total, each player will earn more than Rs. 7.6 million, not including earnings from sponsor logos.
This financial boost follows successful negotiations for better terms in their central contracts last year. They secured a 3% share of the ICC earnings for 2023-24, adding Rs. 1.53 million to their monthly earnings.
