Seven’s summer of cricket set to continue with Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka

The Seven Network’s summer of cricket will continue as they announce they have secured the exclusive rights to Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka, set to air live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport from Wednesday, 29 January.

In a coup for Australian cricket fans, every ball of the Series, which includes two Test matches and two One Day Internationals, will be seen on Seven and 7plus Sport.

Seven Network Head of Cricket, Joel Starcevic, said: “What this summer has shown us is that Australians absolutely love their cricket, and we cannot wait to deliver even more action as Australia takes on Sri Lanka.

“Following an exhilarating Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series, two of the greatest WBBL and BBL seasons in recent history and the intensity of the current Women’s Ashes Series on home soil, the addition of Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka cements Seven and 7plus Sport as the undisputed home of cricket.

“Before we head to Sri Lanka to witness Steve Smith claim his 10,000th Test run as he captains the Aussie side, this weekend marks a thrilling conclusion to the BBL regular season, setting the stage for a nail-biting race to the Final on Monday, 27 January,” he said.

“But it doesn’t stop there. Adding to the smorgasbord of live and free cricket action, our nation’s most loved team, the Australian women’s cricket team, will face England in a historic Ashes Test at the hallowed MCG over four epic days from Thursday, 30 January, following today’s final ODI and three T20Is.

“There has never been a more exciting time to be a cricket fan in Australia, and you can catch every ball from every BBL Final, the Women’s Ashes and the Australian tour of Sri Lanka live and free on Seven and 7plus Sport – the only place to see it all,” Mr Starcevic said.

Live, free and exclusive from Wednesday, 29 January on Seven and 7plus Sport.
