India has become the winner of the Under-19 World Cup for a record sixth time. In the final match, he defeated England by 100 runs and achieved the title of world champion. Team India, captained by Ayush Mhatre, did not lose a single match in the entire tournament. Vaibhav Suryavanshi played the match-winning inning of 175 runs in the final. The Indian team performed unitedly, but it will not receive any prize money from the International Cricket Council for becoming world champion. Why after all?

ICC will not give any prize money

International Cricket Council will not give any prize money to the Indian team for winning the Under-19 World Cup 2026, why? The reason for this is that ICC sees the Under-19 Cricket World Cup as a development tournament. Its objective is to develop young players, hone their talent and provide them experience. Last time also ICC did not give any prize money to the Under-19 World Champion.

Will Team India return home empty handed?

The youth of the Indian Under-19 cricket team do not need to be disappointed, because the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been rewarding its players for their hard work.

Team India won the title in the 2022 Under-19 World Cup under the captaincy of Yash Dhull. At that time, BCCI had given a reward of Rs 40 lakh to each player of Team India. At the same time, each member of the support staff was given Rs 25 lakh each. This time too, a big announcement is expected from BCCI for the players, support staff and coaching team.

At the same time, BCCI has been keeping a prize money pool of Rs 5 crore for the last two times for the women’s Under-19 World Cup winning teams.
