After an extended period of negotiations, the Foxtel Group have now secured broadcast rights to Australia’s upcoming cricket tour of the West Indies.
Commencing this weekend, Australia’s 2021 tour of the Caribbean will feature five T20 matches to be played at the Daren Sammy Stadium. This will be followed by three day/night 50 Over matches to be played at Kensington Oval.
Coverage of the tournament will commence this Saturday, 10th July at 9.30am AEST on Fox Cricket and KAYO.
In addition to the live broadcast, all matches will be available on demand via Kayo, plus highlight packages will be made available as Kayo Minis.
Fox Cricket General Manager, Matt Weiss, said:
“It’s great news that Fox Cricket will showcase the Aussie tour of the West Indies.”
“It’s an important tour with places up for grabs for the ICC T20 World Cup later this year. As the home of cricket for fans in Australia, we will also have every match of the T20 World Cup Live and Exclusive leading into the Ashes Tour staring in December.
“The West Indies will roll out their biggest stars in this format, with names like Gayle, Pollard, Bravo and Pooran – what a great way for Aussie cricket fans around Australia to wake up this Saturday morning.”
It’s a busy period coming for the Fox Cricket team with the channel also preparing to broadcast a number of international cricket tournaments including The T20 Blast, The Hundred, India vs England Test Series and the T20 World Cup.
