Sky Sports seals two-year extension with England and Wales Cricket Board

Sky Sports announces that it has extended their broadcast partnership with the England and Wales Cricket Board by a further two years.

Sky Sports will continue broadcasting English cricket until 2019 after sealing a contract extension with the England and Wales Cricket Board.

The deal, which marks a 14-year broadcasting partnership, will include coverage of all of England's home Test matches, as well as one-day internationals and Twenty20s.

County matches will also be shown, as well as a handful of some women's and England Lions matches.

Sky Sports managing director Barney Francis said: "We're passionate about our commitment to the game, including the men and women's England teams and the County set up, and we're delighted to extend our partnership with the ECB.

"Since 2006, our viewers have enjoyed the incredible successes of the England team, including three Ashes victories, winning the ICC World Twenty20 and becoming the number one Test team in the world. We look forward to continuing the partnership until at least 2019."

Test series against Pakistan and India in 2018 will be broadcast on Sky, and The Ashes the following year will also be shown.
