The return of the ICC Champions Trophy for the first time since 2017 will see eight teams compete for the grand prize of a whopping $2.24 million (USD).

The runners-up will receive $1.12 million, while each losing semi-finalist will take home $560,000. The total prize pool has increased by an impressive 53 percent from the 2017 edition, reaching $6.9 million.

At the Champions Trophy, every match will matter as each group stage win is worth over $34,000 for the victorious team. Teams finishing in fifth or sixth place will receive $350,000 each, while the seventh and eighth-placed sides will take home $140,000.

Additionally, all eight teams will receive a guaranteed $125,000 each for participating at the event.

This tournament marks the first time Pakistan will host an ICC event since 1996. The 2025 edition features eight teams split into two groups of four, with the top two from each group advancing to the semi-finals.

Bangladesh are in Group A alongside India, New Zealand and Pakistan while Group B features Australia, Afghanistan and England.

Bangladesh, who got into the Champions Trophy after finishing eighth in the 2023 ODI World Cup, will pocket at least 3.18 crore taka or $125,000+$140,000 = $265,000 (valued at 120 taka per dollar) even if they finish seventh or eighth without winning a single match.

If Bangladesh win any group stage match, the reward figure go up and in the case of reaching the semifinals, which was their best ever finish in the last edition in 2017, the figure will rise astronomically.

Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, before the team's departure for UAE on Thursday, said their target is to win the title. If Bangladesh indeed win the title, and in the process win two of their group stage matches, they would bag a whopping 29.196 crore taka from the event ($2,240,000+125,000+68,000 = $2,433,000).

The ICC Men's Champions Trophy will be held every four years, featuring the world's top eight ODI teams, while the Women's Champions Trophy will debut in 2027 in a T20 format.
