‘We’re delighted to be broadcasting England’s white-ball tour of India and are especially looking forward to the five T20 internationals as we build up to the IPL and the ICC T20 World Cup later this year,’ said Sky Sports director of cricket Bryan Henderson.

England fast bowler Stuart Broad, a Test regular with 517 wickets but no longer part of the set-up under Eoin Morgan, is among those set to provide remote commentary and analysis for the series.

Sky also says it will show India’s home tours against South Africa, New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka, scheduled to take place in the next 12 months.
