The beauty of cricket is that there’s barely a minute of the day that goes by without an over being bowled somewhere in the world.
The County Championship is now in full swing, with seven more games across Division One and Division Two this week as the Test summer edges closer.
There is plenty of white-ball action as well, including the decider of the Bangladesh v New Zealand ODI series, the IPL, and the latter stages of the PSL.
Sky Sports boast the lion’s share of cricket TV rights, while the game has leaked back onto free-to-air platforms, with The Hundred playing in front of BBC cameras over the summer months.
TNT Sports and discovery+ have also waded into broadcasting more cricket lately, with several England Test matches to be shown on the platform.
Fans across the world will be desperate to soak up as much global action as possible before it heads to the Southern Hemisphere, whatever the format, while Test cricket fans will be satisfied to see five-day, full-fat action still on their screens.
Radio Times brings you a round-up of live cricket on TV today and coming up.
