Additionally, teams will receive an extra $31,154 for each match won, excluding the semi-finals and finals.

The tournament will kick off with 40 matches in the first round, leading to the Super 8s, followed by the semi-finals in Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana.

The final showdown will be held at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, where the 2024 men’s champions will be crowned. ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice noted the event’s historic significance, stating, “This event is historic in so many ways, so it is fitting that the prize money for players reflects that. Hundreds of millions of fans around the world will be entertained by the players in what we’re hoping to be an Out of This World event.”
