Each member of Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad will get USD 100,000 if the team wins the ICC event in June in the Americas, the country’s cricket board announced on Sunday.
The announcement was made by the PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi after spending nearly two hours with the players here before they depart for the away T20 series against Ireland and England on Monday night.
Naqvi also said that the prize money held no importance compared to lifting the trophy, expressing the hope that the team would raise the Pakistan flag.
