‘It’s bright, it’s big and brash’
JON TAIT explains why he didn’t watch any of the T20 World Cup, but has fallen in love with the US’s Major League Cricket
India T20

I DIDN’T see any of the games in the recent ICC T20 World Cup that was hosted by the West Indies and the USA.

That wasn’t because I didn’t want to — it was because I don’t pay for access to Sky TV.

Although the BBC signed an audio deal with the ICC to broadcast all major cricket tournaments over the next four years, the viewing rights went to Sky and Now TV in a long-term deal until the end of 2031.
