Re: Winning the Ashes

England cricketers get paid through the ECB's central contracts system which is divided into three bands. New central contracts are currently being negotiated by the Professional Cricketers Association but currently the top players earn £160,000 annually, the second level is £130,000 and the third level £107,000, although there are match fees, tour fees and win bonuses including a £500,000 squad bonus for winning the Ashes.
Your better England player with an Ashes win will have earned close to a million pounds this year with match fees and win bonuses and the lucky ones will have thier own endorsment deals which will bring in money for a couple of years.
