talkSPORT to broadcast England’s tour of the Netherlands

talkSPORT has won the exclusive rights to broadcast England’s three match ODI tour of the Netherlands in June.

All three games will be played at the VRA Cricket Ground, Amstelveen, with the first game on Friday June 17, second on Sunday June 19, and the final fixture on Wednesday June 22.

Commentators lined up for the fixtures include Steve Harmison, Darren Gough, Mark Butcher, Ryan ten Doeschate and Gareth Batty alongside broadcasters Neil Manthorp, Jarrod Kimber, Andrew McKenna and talkSPORT’s Cricket Editor Jon Norman.

The team will be supported by scorer Garry Morgan.

As talkSPORT continues to extend its international cricket coverage, the network is also exclusively broadcasting two ODI’s between the Netherlands and the West Indies starting today (Tuesday).

Earlier this month talkSPORT entered a new partnership with Cricket Ireland to broadcast Ireland’s 2022 home fixtures against India, New Zealand and South Africa across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

Listeners can also get extra content from the series from talkSPORT’s daily Following On podcast, as well as talkSPORT 2’s The Cricket Collective which airs every Tuesday.

Head of talkSPORT, Lee Clayton said: “We’re delighted to be boosting our award-winning international cricket coverage yet again, covering England and the West Indies’ tour of the Netherlands. As ever, talkSPORT will bring all the preview, analysis and live action to life across our platforms.”

Managing Director of Cricket Netherlands, Betty Timmer said: “talkSPORT’s cricket coverage is full of passion and insight and we are delighted that the network will be covering both England and the West Indies tours of the Netherlands. We are hoping for great series that will showcase the growing strength of Dutch cricket.”
