Sky Sports agrees an eight-year deal with the ICC for coverage of international events including men's and women's World Cups.

Sky Sports has agreed a deal with the ICC for continued coverage of major international competitions running through to 2031.

The agreement includes men's and women's World Cups and T20 World Cups, as well as a World Test Championship Final every two years.

"With more people watching cricket at the highest-level after England men's and women's successes in 2017, 2019 and 2022, our award-winning coverage strives to give cricket fans the complete experience, with all the action both on and off the pitch," said Jonathan Licht, Sky Sports MD.

"This new direct partnership with the ICC means that Sky Sports viewers in the UK & Ireland can continue to enjoy every ball, run, wicket and catch from every international tournament for many years to come, and we're all hugely excited to see what's in store."

The news follows Sky's recent conclusion of a deal with the ECB for domestic cricket rights running until 2028.
