Cricket: Huge increase in prize money for final of World Test Championship

# Cricket: More than bragging rights are on offer in next month’s final of the World Test Championship between South Africa and Australia in London. The International Cricket Council has announced a huge increase in prize money, with the winning team receiving over 65-million-rand, and the losing team almost 38-million – more than what Australia earned for winning the title two-years ago. The ICC says the increase proves its efforts to give priority to the longest format of the game. The match will be played at Lord’s from the 11th.
