Sky to televise Scotland v England cricket international

UK pay-television broadcaster BSkyB has acquired live rights to the one-day international cricket match between Scotland and England which will take place on May 9 in Aberdeen.

The game is England’s first match of the international summer before Test, ODI and Twenty20 series with Sri Lanka and India – all of which will air on Sky Sports.

Scotland’s previous international fixture was a victory over United Arab Emirates that secured a place at the 2015 World Cup in New Zealand and Australia, where it will meet England in the group stages.
