In what many are calling one of the most unconventional rewards in the history of professional cricket, West Indies cricketer, Sherfane Rutherford has been gifted half an acre of land in the United States for his brilliant performance in the Global T20 Canada 2023.

Rutherford clinched half acre USA land for his stellar performance

Running from July 20 to August 6 at the TD Cricket Arena in Brampton, Ontario, this year's Global T20 Canada saw some thrilling displays of cricketing excellence. The final showdown took place between Montreal Tigers and Surrey Jaguars. With the stakes high, Rutherford put on an impressive show, helping the Montreal Tigers clinch their first GT20 title.

The 24-year-old scored an unbeaten 38 off just 29 balls. This was complemented by Andre Russell's explosive 20 runs from a mere 6 deliveries. The two West Indians ensured the Tigers secured a five-wicket win over Surrey Jaguars.

For his outstanding contributions, Rutherford did not just take home the expected 'Player of the Match' and 'Moment of the Match' accolades but also walked away with an unexpected real estate award – half an acre of American soil. 



This bizarre prize has set the cricketing world abuzz, with fans and pundits alike wondering if land grants might become the next big thing in cricketing rewards.

While the world is no stranger to peculiar prizes in various sports and disciplines, this new venture into real estate as an award is a first for cricket. As Montreal Tigers and their fans celebrate their maiden GT20 victory, the larger cricket community will be eagerly watching to see if this becomes a trend in future tournaments.

Rutherford has not commented on his plans for the land, but with his skyrocketing career, it seems like the sky's the limit. Whether or not this becomes a new norm in cricket awards remains to be seen, but for now, Rutherford can bask in the glory of his achievements on and off the pitch.
