Fox Cricket

Off-tube, as with all their non-Sydney games.

Today’s WBBL grand final from North Sydney Oval (Sixers v Strikers) will be shown live on Fox Cricket channel 501, with the final two sessions of the final day of Prime Minister’s XI v West Indies shifted to Fox Cricket+ (channel 503).

They look like the generic version of the old ones before this look, actually.

Could it be that SKY is doing the English language feed, and PCB is thus just doing a native Urdu language feed for PAK viewers only?
