The Indian cricket board will pay each of its players taking part in the world cup Rs two lakh as tour fees out of which Rs one lakh has already been paid in advance to the touring party members.

Board secretary Jaywant Lele said the team would stand to gain substantially in cash bonus, in excess of Rs five lakh, if it fulfills the dream of the cricket-crazy country by lifting the coveted cup at the game's headquarters, Lord's, on June 20.
