Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) has landed a double World Cup coup, securing cricket radio rights across Australia and New Zealand for two separate World Cups coming in the next eight months.
SEN and SENZ have confirmed they have secured exclusive commercial radio rights for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, to be played in New Zealand next March and April.
The two networks will also broadcast the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup from the UAE across Australia and New Zealand. That tournament begins on October 23rd, 2021.
The move complements the forthcoming summer of cricket across two countries for SEN and SENZ.
Australian audiences will hear the Ashes coverage of Australia versus England, while the Big Bash League coverage will be heard across both countries.
Sports Entertainment Network chief operating officer Jodie Simm said the opportunity to broadcast the women’s World Cup was a great honour.
“The upcoming tournament in New Zealand in March and April will be nothing short of spectacular, and a huge honour for New Zealand as the host nation,” Simm said.
“With both New Zealand and Australia, as previous winners, out to dethrone England who won back in 2017 it promises to be a wonderful series to showcase the best women’s cricketers in the world.
“And the men’s T20, featuring the world test champions New Zealand and an Australian team desperate to play some high level cricket, it will be a fantastic tournament.
“We can’t wait to bring it to audiences across our entire 50+ station network in Australia and New Zealand and on the SEN and SENZ app.”
