ICC has announced the prize money for World Test Championship 2021-23 with a total purse of $3.8 million to be shared between the nine teams.
Winners of the ICC World Test Championship 2023 final will take home a monstrous prize of $1.6 million while the runners-up will pocket $800,000.
There is not any change in the tournament prize money, which remains the same as that for the inaugural edition of the championship (2019-21) with a total purse of $3.8 million. Kane Williamson’s New Zealand was rewarded with the $1.6 million in Southampton in 2021 after they sealed an eight-wicket win over India in the rain-marred six-day WTC final.
All nine teams will get a share in the $3.8 million purse with South Africa earning $450,000 for finishing third in the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 standings. England in the fourth spot, will bag $350,000. Sri Lanka finished fifth to earn $200,000. The other teams New Zealand (No.6), Pakistan (No.7), West Indies (No.8), and Bangladesh (No.9) will be rewarded with a sum of $100,000 each.
