A bit different news,
BCB is offering cash incentives for world cup success
Quote:
Bangladesh Cricket Board will offer lucrative bonuses to stimulate the national team's performance in the next month's World Cup, an official said Wednesday.
"A cricketer will receive 2,000 dollars for every victory in the first round of the World Cup," a BCB official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A national team player gets $1,000 for every victory in one-day international cricket.
"The cricketers will also receive 5,000 dollars each if the team books a place in the second round," he said.
The 2007 World Cup begins in the West Indies on March 12.
Bangladesh has been grouped with India, Sri Lanka and Bermuda in the first round of the World Cup.
Habibul Bashar's team will take on India in the first match of their third World Cup journey on March 17.
The board has also offered $3,000 each to the cricketers if the team clinches a victory in the second round, the BCB official said.
The BCB will formally unveil the bonuses after its executive committee's meeting on February 24.
