ESPN Secures Exclusive Rights Australia Men’s West Indies Tour

ESPN has secured exclusive rights to broadcast every ball of the Australian men's cricket team's upcoming tour of the West Indies, marking the first time ESPN airs the Australian men's team locally. The tour includes a three-Test series competing for the Frank Worrell Trophy and five T20 internationals, streaming live across ESPN's platforms including Disney+, Foxtel, Kayo Sports, Fetch TV, and Sky NZ. This marks Australia's first tour of the West Indies since 2015, with the Test series beginning June 26 in Barbados and concluding with a day-night Test in Jamaica. Australia, led by captain Pat Cummins, seeks to retain the trophy following a 1-1 drawn series in 2024, with the West Indies fielding a youthful team under new captain Roston Chase. The tour serves as crucial preparation for Australia's upcoming Ashes series and the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup. ESPN will provide comprehensive coverage including live broadcasts, ball-by-ball commentary, highlights, and onsite reporting to cricket fans in Australia and New Zealand.
