Sky Sports to show India-England white-ball series

The broadcaster missed out on the four Test matches which are currently ongoing, with Channel 4 returning red-ball international cricket to free-to-air terrestrial television for the first time in 16 years

Sky Sports will show live coverage of England's white-ball series in India.

The broadcaster missed out on the four Test matches which are currently ongoing, with Channel 4 returning red-ball international cricket to free-to-air terrestrial television for the first time in 16 years.

However, Sky have acted quickly to buy the rights to all international matches in India for the rest of 2021, including five T20Is and three ODIs against England in March.

Sky will cover the matches remotely, as they did for the two Test matches against Sri Lanka in Galle in January, with coverage anchored by Ian Ward.

Former India international Dinesh Kathik and current England seamer Stuart Broad will join the commentary team.

India’s upcoming home series against South Africa, New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka will also be screened by Sky.

The broadcaster has already signed a three-year deal for exclusive coverage of the IPL in the UK.
