WHITE FERN Katey Martin: New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has confirmed that the 2.3 million USD prize money on winning 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup in the UAE would be split evenly amongst the 15 squad members.

The splitting of prize money, which translates to four million NZ dollars and more than 19 crore Indian rupees, means every team member will get 256,000 NZ dollars (around 1 crore and 29 lakhs), which is way more than their national contracts amount.

It is to be noted that in 2022, NZC had announced parity in match payments for men and women cricketers at both international and domestic level. “The win is absolutely huge in terms of inspiration.”
