World cricket governing body unveils fourfold increase in prize money for upcoming Women's Cricket World Cup in India and Sri Lanka
-
WITH less than a month until the start of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025, the International Cricket Council has announced a staggering increase in the prize money for the tournament set to be staged in India and Sri Lanka.
The overall prize money at the eight-team marquee tournament totals $ 13.88 million —a monumental rise of 297% from $ 3.5 million at the last edition held in New Zealand in 2022.
The total prize pot eclipses that at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup from two years ago in India, which had total prize money of $ 10 million.
