The key issue is that Star Sports holds the global broadcast rights to the ICC tournaments and it prefers to work with pay TV broadcasters. If the rights are split like the Olympics and FIFA World Cup, then Nine has a better chance to bid for the Australian rights. That will leave Star Sports only the rights to show the tournament in the Indian Subcontinent, with the ICC providing the world feed.

Got a source for that one? Or are you guessing/assuming?

The ICC basically cater for India only. Itâs stupid that they sell worldwide rights to Star and then networks have to deal with them rather than the governing body. Itâs so fucking lazy and of course the viewers and fans lose our.

It doesnât help that the value of the rights in a single market is worth more than the remaining markets combined by a long way.

It also saves the ICC a whole lot of work.

Yep - I suspect that the ICC isnt that concerned if Star is able to make a little bit of a profit on what they on-sell either.

This should have the disclaimer that Healy is Fox talent.
And who owns Star, Murdoch so it would all be done in house.
Murdoch doesnât own Disney.

(CEO Mike) Sneesby would not rule out an attempt to bid for the summer cricket broadcast rights when they come up for tender later this year.
âNothingâs out of the question,â he said. âThe television landscape is changing dramatically ⌠and weâve made some really important inroads into being part of that shift of consumer behaviour to streaming consumption.
âThe future will be very different to what we see today and that means the old paradigms that existed previously â this sport must be here and that sport must be there -all of that starts to get thrown out the window when youâre not limited by the constraints of purely linear and â in the years gone by â a single channel broadcast.â

Basically if Foxtel is involved, Nine probably wonât go for it, while if they can get the full suite (FTA + streaming) they will go for it.

CA boss taking a shot at Nine for not showing the Womenâs ODI World Cup. The ratings for the Final werenât great though and all Nine would be doing is promoting a Sport they donât have the rights for.

Spot on! Why isnât Seven or Ten talked about in this manor? Fox had the rights and needed to on sell them; this is just a BS story!
I thought Nineâs rights for ICC events expired after the 2020 (now 2022) T20 World Cup?
Otherwise they would have shown the 2021 T20 World Cup

It was announced in January that Nine reached an agreement to broadcast this yearâs rescheduled T20 World Cup and next yearâs Menâs World Cup. However, the recently concluded Womenâs World Cup wasnât part of that agreement.
No itâs not - Nine entered into an agreement to show menâs ICC events but seemingly decided not to show a World Cup featuring probably the best international womenâs side weâll probably ever see who ended up winning the tournament. They deserved to be criticised when the details of the agreement came out and Hockley claiming what they did was an âodd decisionâ is spot on.

The third menâs Ashes test at Headingley (July 6-10) will take place in the middle of 2023 Wimbledon championships, which start on July 3 and finish on July 16. Nine has the broadcast rights to both Ashes and Wimbledon.
This is the last time the womenâs Ashes will be played in the same season as the menâs. The next edition will be staged in Australia in 2025-26, one year before the next menâs Ashes Down Under.
A three-game ODI tour of Ireland will follow the Womenâs Ashes, with dates and venues yet to be revealed.
EDIT: Here is the schedule with UK start times
The ICC also announced today that the final of the ongoing ICC World Test Championship will be held at The Oval in June 2023, while Lordâs will stage the final of the next edition, in 2025.
