Any chance for radio to bring the T20 world cup? Not sure if the BBC will do it and ABC sports piggybacks that.
The timezone isnât great and I am on the fence around getting Amazon prime on.
I am curious to see the crowds in the US. They did play a T20 tournament there be this is different. There is a bit history with US playing Canada. They were playing cricket before baseball and even before the ashes. What could have been? Canadian cricket team in the United States in 1844 - Wikipedia

I am wondering if there is any last minute radio coverage of the T20s world cup in Australia. It seems no rights to an Australian radio station or the BBC.

The BBC today confirmed it signed a new four year audio rights deal with the ICC, which expires in 2027.

It doesnât give a lot of time for the bbc to pull together a commentary team. Maybe they will watch the tv.
I suspect they would have locked away these rights some time ago (or agreed with the ICC to work in good faith to prepare for mounting a broadcast) and then talked a broader package around it to announce at once.

Good news, ABC Listen app will have live radio coverage of the tournament (probably piggy back BBCâs broadcast).

I tuned in this morning and the coverage was good. They were at the ground, Geoff Lemon was doing the ball by ball and someone from the US was his side kick giving interesting insights into cricket over in North America. Not a bad match either. Even though I am more of a test cricket fan, its still cricket and if more countries play it well then its a positive thing.
Well done to the BBC and the ABC.

New radio broadcast deal for Cricket Australia just announced.
ABC, SEN and Triple M (Listnr) locked in for 7 years!
ABC, SEN and Southern Cross Austereo remain the sound of cricket
CA is pleased to announce it has extended its audio partnerships with the ABC, SEN and Southern Cross Austereo for the next seven seasons (2024/25 to 2030/31).
The extension will ensure cricket fans continue to enjoy a broad and comprehensive range of coverage across AM and FM radio, DAB+ and digital platforms.
The new audio partnership agreements will feature coverage of menâs and womenâs international matches and BBL and WBBL matches across Australia, including:
The ABC, which will be in their 99th year broadcasting cricket by the seventh year of the deal, will now cover the BBL (as well as menâs and womenâs internationals and the WBBL).
SEN to now cover the WBBL (as well as menâs and womenâs internationals and the BBL).
Southern Cross Austereo to now cover three womenâs T20 international matches each season and menâs T20 matches (along with menâs test and ODI matches).
CA will continue to carry the audio feeds provided by the ABC, SEN and Southern Cross Austereo via the CA Live App and cricket.com.au.
The extended audio partnerships align with CAâs recently extended broadcast partnerships with the Seven Network and Foxtel, meaning that from 2024-25 to 2030-31 Australian cricket will enjoy the broadest possible coverage.

John Kelly, Southern Cross Austereo CEO said:
âWe are absolutely delighted to extend and expand our partnership with Cricket Australia for the next seven seasons. This year, for the first time, Triple M adds womenâs international cricket to its broadcast coverage as the Australian womenâs team seeks to retain its number one world ranking.
âThe summer of cricket is a well-established Aussie tradition and Triple M and LiSTNR will bring listeners the best cricket coverage, with the networkâs trademark irreverent banter, to entertain, inform and inspire audiences over summer.
âThe strength of the upcoming Test fixtures, featuring India and then England, promises to be particularly exciting, ensuring that cricket enthusiasts will have front-row access to these marquee series and many more matches, wherever they are."
Mike Fitzpatrick, ABC Head of Capital City Network and Sport said:
âWeâre delighted to continue this historic agreement with Cricket Australia. The ABC is synonymous with cricket, it has always been the soundtrack of summer and now all Australianâs will be able to hear every ball, across multiple platforms, commercial free.
