SPORTS Entertainment Network’s unrivalled commitment to cricket will continue throughout 2023, with SEN and SENZ securing broadcast rights for the highly anticipated ICC World Test Championship Final.
The broadcast will be the first time the much-coveted Championship will be covered across the SEN airwaves in Australia. It will also make a return to SENZ, with New Zealand cricket fans having enjoyed all the action in 2021 when New Zealand beat India.
The Final will see Australia face off against India at one of cricket’s most revered venues, The Kia Oval, in London from 7-11 June. Every ball will be called throughout various SEN and SENZ radio, digital platforms, and the SEN App.
The crowning tournament for Test cricket adds to SEN’s extensive cricket coverage, including the recent broadcast of the riveting Australia v India series and the T20 World Cup tournament held in Australia in late 2022.
Australia finished on top of the ICC World Test Championship standings following a decisive defeat of India earlier this month. They are now one step closer to an inaugural World Test Championship victory, a title they have never held before.
Sports Entertainment Network CEO Craig Hutchison said: “We are delighted to take our SEN Cricket audiences to the Kia Oval for test cricket’s crowning moment and provide Australian, Indian, and broader cricket fans with a call they deserve of a tantalising test on neutral soil.
“There’s no doubt these teams deserve the mantle as the best two of the present test cycle and after the extraordinary Indian win in the recent series, to see them meet again on neutral turf will be fascinating.
“We are fiercely committed to being the home of cricket and take fans there and once again we’ll have a commentary team on the ground in London to deliver a world class call back into Australia and also our SENZ stations in New Zealand who also love their cricket.”
