Broadcaster will also show all other international cricket from the country up to April 2027
Sky Sports will air the England Men’s cricket tour of South Africa this winter.
The broadcaster has extended its relationship with Cricket South Africa through to April 2027, meaning it will have shown England Men’s tours to the country for over three decades. This winter’s tour of South Africa is the first in seven years, and will include three Test matches followed by three ODIs.
In addition to the England series, Sky Sports will also be showing all other international cricket from South Africa in the period. This includes an Australia Men’s tour getting underway this Thursday (24 September) with the first of three ODIs in Durban, followed by three Tests, and the schedule will then continue with tours involving Bangladesh Men, India Women and Australia Women.
The rights deal was negotiated by Cricket South Africa’s international media rights partner, IMG.
