Taylor got $250 for WC
Brendan Taylor was paid just $250 during the World Cup, despite being one of the best batsmen at the tournament.
The former Zimbabwe star opened up on the reasons behind his decision to walk away from his country to play for county side Nottinghamshire. Unsurprisingly, the overriding factor was money.
Although he cared deeply about representing Zimbabwe, he simply couldn't justify being paid such meagre sums.
It is being reported that Taylor received around $250 - before tax! - for his six World Cup matches, where he finished fourth on the run-scorers list. That equates to approximately 58 cents per run.
With an English county contract, Taylor can expect to earn in the vicinity of $95,000 to $190,000 per year.
