IT will cost the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) US$1.7 million to stage the regional 50-over tournament -- The President's Cup — to be hosted here from October 14-24.

Approximately US$20,450.00 covers total prize money, with the winners receiving US$10,000 or almost half that amount.

Apart from the main prize at next month's event hosted over a compact 11 days across three venues, the runner-up will pocket US$4000, while both losing semi-finalists receive US$1000 each.

But the one question on most West Indians lips is how long the WICB can sustain its main events without sponsorship.

where is all this money going? How long WI can go on without a sponsor?
