KARACHI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Sunday announced a prize money pool of $5.6 million for the T20 World Cup, with the winning team taking home $1.6 million. “The winners of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 will take home a winners’ cheque of $1.6 million while the runner-ups will get half that amount,” said an official statement issued by the ICC. In addition to this, the break down announced by the ICC suggests that the teams that win round matches will earn additional prize money. Moreover, the statement said that the teams which get eliminated from the tournament in the first round will be awarded $40,000 as a guaranteed participation prize. The ICC has tweaked its playing condition 11.5.1 which previously didn’t allow any special drink breaks during innings of T20 international matches.
