Despite their lean show in the field, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will still earn at least Tk3 crores from the ongoing edition of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
A total of eight teams are participating in this year's Champions Trophy, and they are playing in two groups. All these teams will get USD 125,000 for participating in the event.
On top of that, Bangladesh will earn USD 140,000 even if they end the tournament as the lowest team or the eighth team in the points table. In total, Bangladesh will earn at least USD 265,000, which is more than BDT 3 crores in current exchange rate.
Bangladesh lost the first two matches in the event— one against India, and another one against New Zealand. In the last match, they will take on the hosts Pakistan in Rawalpindi on Thursday. If they can win this match and end their campaign on a high note, they will earn more than USD 34,000, or BDT more than 40 lakh.
Total prize money of this year’s Champions Trophy is USD 6.9 million— more than 56% increase compared to the last edition of the Champions Trophy that took place in 2017— and the winner of the event will get USD 2.24 million, and the runners up will receive USD 1.12 million.
Two teams who will be eliminated from the semifinals will get more than half a million USD each.
This year’s Champions Trophy is being played across venues in the UAE and Pakistan. All the matches were supposed to be hosted in Pakistan, but due to India’s refusal to travel to Pakistan, some matches are taking place in the UAE.
