Star Sports Bags Cricket Australia Media Rights

Star Sports and Cricket Australia (CA) have signed a contract, which would see the media company regain its media broadcast rights to the cricketing nation for the ensuing four years, according to multiple reports. This contract also includes a clause to extend the arrangement by an additional four years. The cricket rights for Australia are currently held by Sony.

As per a report by Cricbuzz, the agreement for both TV and digital rights takes effect from the upcoming season, but a CA spokesman declined to comment, stating, “Nothing we can say on the record on that at the moment. I’ll let you know if that changes.” 

Star will broadcast all India games played in Australia, the Ashes series, and the Big Bash League, from the upcoming season. Furthermore, it will also telecast all of India’s home matches, T20 World Cup 2022, ODI World Cup 2023, Australia’s and South Africa’s international matches, The Ashes, Indian Premier League (IPL), and both men’s and women’s Big Bash League (BBL).
