ESPN3 gets exclusive telecast rights for West Indies series in the US

Popular sports pubcaster EPSN and Zee TV have struck a sub-license deal for exclusive live coverage of the West Indies tri-series on ESPN3 in the US.

The agreement, which includes additional series from the Pakistan and Sri Lanka cricket boards, will give fans in the US access to the matches through the end of the year. Featured opponents in the tests, ODIs and T20s include India, South Africa and New Zealand.

“ESPN3 is proving itself to be a leading destination for live coverage of major cricket events in the US, and following the ICC Champions Trophy with the tri-series in the Caribbean continues on our mission to serve fans with access to the second most popular international sport,” said ESPN vice president of programming and acquisitions John Lasker. “We look forward to delivering these events across multiple platforms to veteran fans while also introducing this dynamic sport to new audiences.”
