Proceeds from the game will be dived equally and distributed to the two teams to assist them with the cricket development programmes. Mr. Balram further stated that four second division teams and a few other organizations will also benefit from the proceeds of the game. These entities will be given tickets to sell and keep the proceeds from the ticket sales.
