Global Player Hardship Fund: The World Cricketers’ Association (WCA) has voiced extreme concerns over some countries yet to pay their players the full prize money earned from playing in the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, held in the USA and the West Indies.

It added that in some cases players have been at the receiving end of threatening and intimidatory behaviour by their countries’ governing cricket bodies. This year’s Men’s T20 World Cup, won by India, saw 20 teams in action, with eight of them being associate nations.

“We are extremely concerned with a number of countries who are still yet to pay players their prize money from the men’s T20 World Cup held in the US and Caribbean earlier in the year, and especially with a number of threats made against players who stand up for themselves and their colleagues in some cricket environments,” said Tom Moffat, WCA CEO.
