Earlier this month, Sport 24, the in-flight and on-ship entertainment service owned by international sports agency IMG, announced that it had secured rights to show the next two major ICC men’s tournaments.
The IMG-owned service is currently showing the T20 World Cup and will then cover the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 which will be held in India from October next year.
Star India, the pay-TV heavyweight broadcaster, holds global distribution rights to the T20 World Cup, through a deal struck back in October 2014.
YuppTV, meanwhile, showed the ICC Cricket World Cup in June and July 2019 and the Under-19 World Cup in February 2020 (both across Europe and Central Asia).
In addition, it covered the Asia Cup national team tournament in August and September this year and has aired the last three editions of the prestigious Indian Premier League franchise competition in over 100 countries, predominantly in continental Europe, Central and South America, and Southeast Asia.
