Digital Desk: The prize money for the World Test Championship 2021–2023 cycle was revealed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday. An official announcement claims that the nine teams will split a whopping Rs 31.4 crore, the same amount as the previous cycle (2019–21). At the Lord's in London, beginning on June 7, India will compete against Australia in the WTC championship game. The grand reward for winning the WTC Final will be worth approximately Rs 13.22 crore, while the runners-up will receive approximately Rs 6.61 crore.
"There is no change to the tournament prize money, which is the same as it was for the championship's first season (2019–21), with a total payment of $3.8 million (about Rs. 13.22 crore). New Zealand's eight-wicket victory over India in the rain-drenched six-day WTC final earned them $1.6 million (about Rs. 6.61 crore) in Southampton in 2021", according to an ICC announcement.
