MEN’S T20 TRI-SERIES BROADCAST DETAILS ANNOUNCED
Cricket Scotland is pleased to announce broadcast details for the men’s T20i Tri-Series between Scotland, Nepal and Netherlands in Glasgow in June.
QTV, long-time production partners of Cricket Scotland, will produce a high-quality seven-camera outside broadcast of the highly anticipated series at Clydesdale Cricket Club, which will be available to watch globally on a variety of platforms.
In a first for Scottish cricket, all six matches will be shown via Pay Per View, in partnership with Urban Zoo, to supporters in the UK, Europe and selected international territories. Matches will be available to view at £8.99 each, with a pass for Scotland’s four fixtures on offer for just £26.97, while a series pass for all six games is available for £39.99.
The coverage at Titwood across the series is being anchored by Australian cricket journalist and broadcaster Mel Farrell alongside the vastly experienced Scottish sports commentator Paul Mitchell. All matches are scheduled to begin at 1500hrs UK (1600hrs CET, 1930hrs India Standard Time, 1945hrs Nepal).
Further details around broadcast arrangements for overseas territories will be confirmed shortly.
Jack McGill, CEO of QTV, said:
“QTV is thrilled to bring Scottish international cricket to the screens of viewers around the world once more. Last year’s bilateral series between Scotland and Australia was a fantastic celebration of cricket at The Grange, and we’re looking forward to bringing another high-quality international broadcast to fans around the world.
“QTV has facilitated pay-per-view success in Scottish football, netball, and hockey. On each occasion it's demonstrated that fans are willing to pay for better coverage and appreciate the investment that goes into that.
“The introduction of PPV for these matches – which will complement the international broadcast rights deal – is a very positive step to creating a sustainable commercial model for high quality international cricket coverage and tells fans that Cricket Scotland has invested in an excellent standard of production. We hope that fans of all three participating countries, and beyond, will support it and enjoy it.”
Charles Paterson, Cricket Scotland Head of Communications, said:
“It’s hugely important that Scottish cricket moves with the ever-changing broadcast landscape as we seek to create new income streams in our game. This action-packed T20 series represents the perfect moment for Cricket Scotland to move into the pay-per-view market, and we are pleased at the value being offered to supporters.
“We’re delighted to be partnering with QTV once more and would like to thank them and Urban Zoo for their work in bringing this series to life. QTV have been great supporters of Scottish cricket for many years and fully embrace Cricket Scotland’s vision to showcase our sport in its best light on the world stage.
“This series sees the return of international cricket to Glasgow for the first time since 2022 and will act as important preparation for both Scotland and Netherlands ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier next month. With the addition of an exciting Nepalese side, who will have a large and passionate following cheering them on, it should be a fantastic week of cricket at Titwood.”
