Online video highlights

In 2016, the BBC signed a deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board to show online match clips and highlights.

The deal, for those in the UK only, covers England's men's and women's international matches in the UK, as well as selected county games.

You can watch up to five clips of the latest action per hour of play on the BBC Sport website, plus a short highlights package at the close of each day's play.

The BBC will also be able to broadcast video clips and end-of-day round-ups of major ICC tournaments such as the Champions Trophy and the Women's World Cup.

Live cricket back on BBC TV from 2020

English international and domestic cricket will be shown live on BBC TV from 2020.

In a five-year deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), the BBC will show live coverage of:

• Two England men's home T20s

• One England women's home T20s

• 10 men's matches from the ECB's new domestic city-based T20 competition

• Up to eight matches from the women's domestic T20 tournament, including both finals

The BBC will also show:

• Highlights of England men's home Tests, ODIs and T20s

• Highlights of England women's home internationals

Domestic cricket coverage

County cricket fans can keep across all the action with BBC Radio 5 live sports extra and local radio, plus extra commentaries from around the regions available only on the BBC Sport website and app.

BBC Local Radio will broadcast live commentary of every single county match, with increased coverage on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra most weeks.

TMS contract until end of 2019

In January 2012, BBC Sport announced a new six-year radio rights deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board, which means TMS will be on air with exclusive radio commentary of all home series up to and including the end of the 2019 season, with more coverage of domestic cricket and women's internationals.
