The West Indies won over Barbados $1 million for their performances at the recent ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India. The ICC on Wednesday morning announced the disbursement of prize money after India won their second consecutive title with victory over New Zealand in the final.
West Indies topped their preliminary group and reached the Super 8s stage but could not advance to the semi-finals. They had wins over Scotland, England, Nepal and Italy in the prelims and over Zimbabwe in the Super 8s. They were defeated by South Africa and India in the Super 8s and bowed out at that stage.
The ICC announced that following the successful conclusion of the marquee global event, the final distribution of the tournament’s US$11.25 million players’ prize money pool, in line with the record-breaking increase to ICC prize money made in 2024.
All amounts represent gross prize money across the group stage, Super 8s, semi-finals and final, and are calculated prior to any applicable tax compliance or deductions. The totals reflect the base participation payment that each team receives ($225 000), final team placements, win bonuses and progression through each stage of the tournament.
