Irish public-service broadcaster RTÉ has acquired highlights rights for the remaining knockout matches of the International Cricket Council World Twenty20 qualifying tournament currently taking place in Dubai.
RTÉ acquired the rights from the ICC. It will broadcast highlights of the Irish team’s match against Canada tonight, March 22, followed by highlights of the next two knockout matches on Friday and Saturday night.
Ryle Nugent, RTÉ’s group head of sport, said: “We are delighted to join the country in getting behind the Irish Cricket team and supporting them as they look to qualify for the Twenty20 World Cup. With the matches starting from 6am Irish time, RTÉ will give Irish audiences the chance to catch up and enjoy highlights each night.”
