World Cup 2019: Team-wise combined salaries of all players
The numbers are quite high for some of the teams.
3. Bangladesh | $455,000 (around INR 3.15 crores)
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) awarded annual central contracts to 12 cricketers this year. While five cricketers were placed in the ‘Grade A+’ category, three others got a ‘Grade A’ contract. The remaining four cricketers were placed in the ‘Grade B’ category. Apart from this, the board placed five cricketers in the ‘Rookie’ category.
According to Wikipedia, the salaries for these four grades are $57,000 (Rs 39.59 lakhs) , $43,000 (Rs 29.87 lakhs), $28,000 (Rs 19.45 lakhs) and $14,000 (Rs 9.72 lakhs) respectively. Since Grade C and Grade D have been dissolved quite recently, it made it possible for the board to increase the salaries of the players as the ones who have the central contracts now are relatively lesser. Only 11 players out of the 15 in the World Cup squad have a central contract and it all sums up to $455,000 per annum.
