The prizes do not end there though, as qualification and participation at the biggest T20I tournament will garner rewards as well. Every team who are a part of the 2024 T20 World Cup receives a minimum of $225,000 for participating.
The buck doesn’t stop there though as victory at every step will be rewarded as well, as every team will also reportedly receive an additional $31,154 for each match they win, barring the semi-finals and final.
A month-long festival of the fastest and most explosive form of the sport — which is being shared between venues in Texas, Florida, New York and the Caribbean — began with the US taking on Canada at the Grand Prairie Stadium on the outskirts of Dallas on Saturday.
It marked the opening skirmish of the first ever major International Cricket Council (ICC) event to be held in part in the United States.
While the bulk of the tournament will be played out in the Caribbean, 16 group stage games in the 20-team tournament will be played on American soil, including the highlight of the group stage — a clash between India and Pakistan.
The rest of the tournament will be held in the West Indies, including the Super Eight stage, the semi-finals and the final, which will be played at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados.
With the teams drawn in four groups of five teams, with just the top two advancing, none of the smaller nations are expected to progress beyond the group stage and there is a danger the pool stage could mainly be a ‘weeding out’ process.
