The World Test Championship final in 2025 will boast a significantly increased prize pool, with winners set to receive USD 3.6 million, more than double the amount awarded in preceding editions.
Australia, who secured the championship in 2023 against India, had taken home USD 1.6 million in prize money. This substantial increase in 2025 underlines the International Cricket Council's (ICC) commitment to enhancing the prestige of Test cricket.
