If Pakistan wins T20 World Cup, each player to get $100,000 prize money

If Pakistan wins the T20 World Cup, each player is to get $100,000 prize money!

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi announced the prize money on Sunday as he hosted a luncheon for the Pakistan cricket team at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, ahead of the national side’s tours of Ireland and England.

According to the PCB, Mohsin Naqvi announced that each player would be awarded $100,000 for winning the T20 World Cup.

He added that the prize money holds no importance compared to lifting the trophy, expressing the hope that the team would raise the Pakistan flag.

The PCB chief also encouraged players to “play without any pressure” and to “compete vigorously”. “The victory will be for you and the defeat will be for me,” he said.

“Don’t care about anyone. Only play for Pakistan. Demonstrate teamwork on the field [and] God willing, victory will be yours,” he said.

“The country has a lot of expectations from you. You have to fulfil them,” he told the players.

In a post on social media platform X, the PCB said that Moshin Naqvi met both players and officials during his visit.

“The PCB chairman stayed with the players for two hours,” the board said, adding that Naqvi also held a detailed discussion with the players on strategy.

Pakistani men’s cricket team players are undergoing a three-day training camp in Lahore.

After the training, the national side will depart for Dublin, Ireland on May 7.
