Cricket world cup 2011 prize money

The Cricket world cup 2011 prize money decided by the International Cricket Council is 10 million US dollars. The tournament is going to be held in the Indian Sub-Continent. The high amount signified the importance that has been given to the tournament. This new amount that has been fixed is double the prize money that was fixed in the world cup of 2007. The prize money then was five million US dollars. Post the IPL, the world cup fever went slightly low. Hence, the increase in the prize money is to reinforce the significance of this grand sport event.
