World Cup 2019: Team-wise combined salaries of all players
The numbers are quite high for some of the teams.
7. England | €9,950,000 (around INR 78.31 crores)
The England Cricket Board (ECB) awarded 10 Test contracts and 13 white-ball contracts in September 2018. Tom Curran, on the other hand, was a recipient of an incremental contract. All the players are ranked according to their performances, off-field contributions, fielding and fitness. Then, their salaries correspond to the ranks that are given. ECB gives a lot of importance to Test cricket. The red-ball players have their salary fully paid by the ECB while the white-ball contracts receive a supplement on the top of their county contract.
According to Metro, the salaries for the 2017-18 season ranged between €120,000 (Rs 1.05 crores) and €1,500,000 (Rs 13.24 crores). Alastair Cook received the highest salary but he is now retired. The pay structure is expected to be the same for the 2019-20 season as well. The ECB is likely to increase the contracts manifold in 2020 since there will be a new broadcast deal. 12 players in the World Cup squad have a central contract and they nearly get a crore euros as their salary.
