ECB and Sky Sports have confirmed the 2017 TV matches with more hours of cricket televised than ever before.

For the third year running Glamorgan's NatWest T20 Blast home fixture against Somerset at The SSE SWALEC has been chosen as the televised domestic fixture in Cardiff, whilst Glamorgan's away match against Gloucestershire in Bristol on 25 July will also be broadcast live.

The Sky Sports cameras will visit the Welsh capital for five days of international cricket in June, with the ICC Champions Trophy returning to the city followed by the final game in the NatWest Intenrational T20 Series between England and South Africa.

Cricket fans will be able to watch more hours of cricket than ever before this summer on Sky Sports with exclusively live coverage from April through to late September.

In another first, Sky will broadcast the first day/night Test match in England as part of the Investec West Indies Test series. 

As well as England’s matches, Sky will broadcast the ICC Champions Trophy tournament taking place in England and Wales, cricket fans can also look forward to the face-paced domestic season on Sky Sports, where Northamptonshire, Middlesex and Warwickshire will all be looking to add to their trophy cabinets. 

In addition to the schedule of men’s cricket, viewers will also be able to follow the women’s international and domestic competitions. The England women’s team will be in action in the ICC Women’s World Cup and, for the first time ever, Sky Sports will show live matches from the Kia Super League where the Southern Vipers are hoping to defend the title they won last year.

Bryan Henderson, Sky Sports Head of Cricket, commented: “There is so much to look forward to this year with more hours of cricket than ever before on Sky Sports. England will want to return to the top of the Test rankings under new captain Joe Root, the Champions Trophy is up for grabs on home soil, and England’s women have the World Cup to play for. It is going to be a long, fascinating summer on Sky Sports.”
