Major event at risk

With just two weeks to go until England's test series with India, cricket fans in the UK may be left without access to live TV coverage. The rights for the series have not yet been sold, leaving fans uncertain about how they will be able to watch the action unfold.

Big players yet to bid

Sky Sports and TNT Sports, the usual contenders in securing TV rights for major sporting events in the UK, have not yet made a move to bid for the rights, according to The Times. This leaves fans wondering who will step in to secure the broadcasting rights.

Channel 4 unlikely to repeat history

Back in 2016, Channel 4 picked up the rights to broadcast England's test series in India. They paid £7 million for the rights, significantly less than what rights holders Star had initially hoped to secure. However, it is believed that Channel 4 will not enter the bidding process at the last minute this time around.

Radio coverage available

Despite the uncertainty surrounding TV coverage, fans will still be able to listen to the action on the radio. talkSPORT has secured the radio rights for the series, ensuring that fans can still follow the matches closely.

Conclusion

With the test series just around the corner, English cricket fans are anxiously waiting to see who will secure the TV rights. In the meantime, they can take solace in the fact that they will at least be able to listen to the matches on the radio.
