Sky Sports will show exclusive live coverage of England's ODI and T20 series against India in March.

Fans will also get to watch plenty of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah in the next year as Sky Sports will also broadcast India's home tours against South Africa (Oct 2021), New Zealand (November 2021), West Indies (January 2022) and Sri Lanka (February 2022).

Is it accurate because Channel 4 were announced as the broadcasters for the whole tour (test, T20 and ODI) although interestingly it only applied exclusive to the tests.
Sky's announcement seems to contradict this - I suppose time will tell.

Why would Sky put it on their website if it was not true?

Equally why would internet previously state Channel 4 had the rights?
Maybe it will be on both?

Does anyone have a link to the Channel 4 rights article? Has it been amended since original publication?

Link to the Channel 4 presser dated Feb 3rd. Makes no mention of the white ball rights.

They are the only ones showing it - but it, as per that page, is test match cricket.

Channel 4 will show exclusive free to air live television coverage of England’s Test series against India.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
The original said Channel 4 had the rights to the whole tour but reading carefully said C4 had exclusive rights to the Tests but didn't say exclusive rights to T20/ODI matches.
It may have been altered/superseded.
As I said there was nothing on the Internet about sky having the T20/ODI rights apart from on Sky's own website.
It doesn't affect me as I have access to both.
Interestingly I have seen an article that suggests C4 only paid £5m not the £20m the Indians wanted - I think questions should be asked why BBC didn't compete - saving their money for Wimbledon perhaps?

Clearly states it is the entire tour - four tests, five Twenty20s and 3 ODI

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
Most of Six Nations looks increasingly likely it will go behind a paywall.

I won't be at all surprised to see the autumn series go predominantly pay, in return for keeping more of the 6N, on FTA.
