Bangladesh players offered financial incentive

Bangladesh's players have been handed a financial incentive to perform at the World Cup with the BCB announcing bonuses for group wins and progression to the Super Eights.

For each group match Bangladesh win the players will receive US$2000 on top of their usual win bonus. If the team reaches the Super Eights there will another US$3000 for each match won in that section of the tournament.

Bangladesh are one of the first teams to arrive in the Caribbean ahead of the World Cup, which starts on March 13, as their preparations include an ICC Tri-series with Bermuda and Canada in Antigua.

They are in Group B for the main tournament, alongside Sri Lanka, India and Bermuda. Bangladesh have never progressed beyond the first stages of a World Cup, but did manage a shock win against Pakistan in 1999.
