- Sky Sports extended its longstanding partnership with Cricket South Africa, with Sky Sports and its streaming platform NOW securing exclusive broadcast rights to England's men's winter tour.
- The exclusive deal covers all three Tests and three ODIs England will play in South Africa this winter, locking the series behind Sky/NOW subscriptions in the UK.
Why it matters: English cricket fans who don't subscribe to Sky Sports or NOW will have no live access to the national team's three-Test, three-ODI series in South Africa, as the extended deal keeps the tour behind a paywall rather than offering free-to-air coverage.
