The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday announced<\/a> a staggering increase in the prize money for the tournament set to be staged in India and Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

The 13th edition of the women\u2019s showpiece 50-over tournament<\/a> will begin on Sept 30. Pakistan is set to play<\/a> its matches in Sri Lanka following India\u2019s refusal to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy earlier this year, which resulted in a \u201chybrid model<\/a>\u201d being decided upon.<\/p>\n

The overall prize money at the eight-team marquee tournament totals $13.88 million \u2014 a monumental rise of 297 per cent from $3.5m at the last edition held in New Zealand in 2022, ICC said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The total prize pot eclipses that at the ICC Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup from two years ago in India, which had total prize money of $10 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe announcement aligns with ICC\u2019s strategy to amplify the growth of women\u2019s cricket and a decision to introduce pay parity was announced ahead of the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup 2024,\u201d ICC said.<\/p>\n

The winners of the 13th edition of the Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup will receive prize money of $4.48 million \u2014 a 239pc increase from the $1.32m awarded to Australia in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeanwhile, the runners-up will receive $2.24m, an increase of 273pc in comparison to the $600,000 England won three years ago. The two losing semi-finalists will take home $1.12m (up from $300,000 in 2022) each.<\/p>\n

Each group stage participant is guaranteed to earn $250,000 while each group-stage win will get the victors $34,314.<\/p>\n

In the second half of the final table, the teams finishing fifth and sixth will take home $700,000 each and those in seventh and eighth place will earn $280,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis announcement marks a defining milestone in the journey of women\u2019s cricket,\u201c ICC Chairman Jay Shah said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis four-fold increase in prize money is a landmark moment for women\u2019s cricket and reflects our clear commitment to its long-term growth.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOur message is simple, women cricketers must know they will be treated on par with men if they choose this sport professionally.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe uplift underscores our ambition to deliver a world-class ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup and to inspire the next generation of players and fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen\u2019s cricket is on a remarkable upward trajectory, and with this step we are confident the momentum will accelerate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call upon all stakeholders, fans, media, partners, and Member Boards, to join us in championing the women\u2019s game and ensuring it receives the recognition and respect it deserves.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday announced a staggering increase in the prize money for the tournament…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389330,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,79,16,15,8130],"class_list":{"0":"post-389329","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-womens-world-cup-2025"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115129331536873131","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389329"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389329\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
