“It’s the cricket competition that everyone is talking about and from next year, only on Sky Sports can viewers follow the IPL live”

Sky Sports have bagged the rights to broadcast the Indian Premier League (IPL) for the next three years, starting from 2015.

Sky Sports will show 60 live matches, strengthening their cricket schedule, which already includes England’s home and away matches and coverage from Australia, India, South Africa, New Zealand and the West Indies.

“It’s the cricket competition that everyone is talking about and from next year, only on Sky Sports can viewers follow the IPL live,” Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said. “Sky Sports’ cricket coverage has never been stronger, offering something for everyone including all the major Test playing nations and all the best players. We can’t wait.

“Before then, our cricket continues with the best action including ICC World Twenty20 next month and England’s summer Tests against Sri Lanka and India.”
