The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed that a consortium comprising TransGroup and ARY has secured the international broadcast rights for the upcoming three-match Test series between England and Pakistan. The much-anticipated series, which starts next week, will be played in Multan and Rawalpindi.
The broadcast rights were awarded following a transparent and competitive tender process. Cricket fans around the world will be able to enjoy the series through cutting-edge broadcasting, featuring 28 High-Definition cameras, including innovative drone and buggy cams, along with a complete Hawk-Eye review system.
In addition to the broadcast, the PCB has announced a stellar commentary team for the series, which begins on 7 October at Multan Cricket Stadium. Former England captains David Gower, Michael Atherton, and Nasser Hussain will return as commentators, having previously covered Pakistan's Test series against England in December 2022.
They will be joined by fellow English commentator Ian Ward. On the Pakistani side, former captains Aamir Sohail and Ramiz Raja, Test cricketer Bazid Khan, and former Pakistan women’s captain Urooj Mumtaz will provide expert analysis. Zainab Abbas will serve as the presenter for the series.
The series will be broadcast in Pakistan on A-Sports, Ten Sports, and PTV Sports, while the Tamasha platform will offer live streaming. In the United Kingdom, Sky Sports will handle the broadcast, and BBC Sport will provide radio coverage. Broadcast details for other regions will be shared soon.
In addition, the PCB’s PitchSide Studio, hosted by Zainab Abbas, will offer pre- and post-match analysis, giving fans in-depth insights into the action.
