“As part of the club’s India strategy, we want to engage with new audiences across India and having a 24/7 channel on JioTV will help support that objective."

A Jio spokesperson added: “LancsTV provides broadcast quality coverage of all their home games and it’s clear to see the investment that has gone into the product with the impressive studio at Emirates Old Trafford [Lancashire's home venue in Manchester] and the talent it works with.

“We are pleased to partner with such an innovative and pioneering first-class county that clearly has a clear passion for India. We hope our users continue to enjoy watching Lancashire fixtures throughout the 2024 campaign, starting with five days of cricket in Bangalore from Sunday, as part of their pre-season tour.”
