Crocmedia’s CEO Craig Hutchison said it was a great time to be working with Cricket Australia to make cricket coverage accessible to all Australians.
Hutchinson said: “Cricket is such an intrinsic part of summer in Australia and we’re thrilled to have all the Test and Big Bash action live across the Crocmedia network and streaming platforms.
“Australian cricket is thriving and with the boys getting off to an emphatic start in The Ashes over in England there’s even more reason to look forward to all the action here in Australia.”
Test coverage commences on Thursday 21 November with Australia v Pakistan live from The Gabba.
The Big Bash season kicks off on Tuesday 17 December and runs through until the final on Saturday 8 February.
