World Cup 2019: Team-wise combined salaries of all players
The numbers are quite high for some of the teams.
6. South Africa | $3,650,000 (around INR 25.32 crores)
For the 2019-20 season, Cricket South Africa (CSA) awarded annual central contracts to 16 players. Veteran cricketers JP Duminy and Imran Tahir’s contracts weren’t renewed though. Reeza Hendricks and Theunis de Bruyn were the new additions to this contract list this year. The salaries for the Proteas cricketers are quite low when compared to some of the other major cricket playing nations.
Thus, we often see their players incline towards county cricket or various T20 leagues. The highest salary received by a South African cricketer is around $500,000 9Rs 3.47 crores) and is received by the players who play all the three formats. Meanwhile, the lowest could hover approximately $175,000 (Rs 1.2 crores). Excluding Dale Steyn, who was ruled out of the tournament, 9 players from the current South African squad have got a central contract. Together, their salaries add up to around INR 25.32 crores.
