UK sports production and media company Sunset+Vine has secured the host broadcaster contract for the International Cricket Council’s 2015 World Twenty20 Qualifier.
The national team event, jointly hosted by Ireland and Scotland, takes place from July 9-26.
Sunset+Vine will produce 20 live matches along with highlights programming as part of a world feed package.
Jeff Foulser, chairman of Sunset+Vine, said: “We recognise that covering this tournament is a vital step in promoting cricket to become a bigger and better global game and we have a responsibility to help expose cricket outside the traditional Test playing countries. Our editorial approach and live coverage will reflect this, while still telling the basic stories of the game: the tactics, the field settings, the mind-set of the captains and the idiosyncrasies of each player.”
The top six teams from the 14-nation competition will progress to the first qualifying round of the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 in India.
