New Delhi: Despite not qualifying for the final of the World Test Championship (WTC 2025), the Indian team will earn almost equal to the winners of the previous editions New Zealand (2021) and Australia (2025). This has been possible due to the ICC’s decision to increase the WTC purse to $ 3.6 million.
The runner-up India, the last two versions, missed out on reaching the hat-trick WTC final in Lord’s after finishing third in the WTC points table for the 2023-25 cycle. South Africa and Australia qualified for the final to be played at Lord’s on June 11 after being number 1 and number 2 in the points table.
The winner of the WTC finals played between Australia and South Africa will get an amount of $ 3.6 million, which is more than double the amount earned after New Zealand (2021) and Australia (2023) won the last two finals.
This time the team that loses in the final will also earn more money than the previous champion. This time an amount of more than $ 2.1 million has been ensured. The winners of the last two versions (New Zealand and Australia) won $ 1.6 million, while the losing finalist (India) received $ 800,000.
How much money will India get?
This time India will get $ 1,440,000 to finish third, which is about ₹ 12.32 crore. Whatever finals Australia or South Africa will win will get three million six hundred thousand US dollars. The team with the second position will take two million one hundred and sixty thousand US dollars. India at number three will get one million four hundred and forty thousand US dollars.
