Pakistani cricketers will be showered with huge cash rewards if they go on to win the ICC Champions trophy in South Africa, a senior Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official said on Monday.

According to Wasim Bari, the PCB chief operating officer, the players will be flooded with rewards if they win their second International Cricket Council (ICC) event after having won the World Twenty20 earlier this year.

"Winning the Champions Trophy would be a huge achievement and the board will ensure that the players are duly rewarded," said Bari, a former Pakistan test wicketkeeper. FULL COVERAGE
