Cricket Returns to Channel 5

Cricket Returns to Channel 5 with the Ashes And New Zealand Test, ODI and T20 Highlights Programmes.

‘Channel 5 will be the only destination to watch England’s cricket internationals for free this Summer – making it the nation’s home for all England’s Summer Cricket Internationals’ the broadcaster boasts.

The action kicks off on May 16th with the 1st Investec Test v New Zealand and will continue throughout the Summer to bring viewers the crucial highlights of all the day’s play from this series and the forthcoming and highly anticipated Ashes series, where Australia will attempt to reclaim the greatest prize in cricket.

“We delighted to confirm that England’s Cricket Internationals will once again be available for viewers to enjoy, free of charge this Summer ahead.

We have kept together our fantastic presenting team, led by Mark Nicholas, who will entertain viewers with their cricketing knowledge and insightful, if somewhat combative, performance analysis – and we are committed to capturing the very best of the action for everyone to enjoy.” – Ian Dunkley, Commissioning Editor.

Channel 5 will air a highlights programme every evening at 7pm during England’s fixtures. The show will be presented by Channel 5’s cricket anchor stalwart Mark Nicholas who will be joined by a formidable commentary team that includes former England captain Michael Vaughan, Simon Hughes and the legendary Geoffrey Boycott.
