Bangladesh women’s cricket team have been rewarded with a cash reward following their T20 Asia Cup win over India on Sunday.
The Tigers arrived back home on Monday night following their six-wicket triumph against six-time champions India, which sealed their maiden title.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board revealed that there will be a 20 million taka ($236,000) cash reward and promised to review salaries.
“Each player will get one million taka ($14,800) as a cash reward,” BCB spokesman Jalal Yunus told AFP on Tuesday.
“About $75,000 will be shared by the coaching and management staff. The BCB will review the salary and match fees of contracted women players this week.”
Prior to the tournament, Bangladesh earned a maximum 30,000 taka ($445) each month plus $100 as match fee for an international.
