TORONTO, June 13, 2018 /CNW/ - DAZN Canada welcomes elite international cricket tournaments to its growing platform starting this month. A two-year agreement with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), and a four-year agreement with the English and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) gives DAZN members access to tournaments hosted by these cricket boards LIVE and on-demand.

"Cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world," said Joseph Markowski, SVP Commercial & Partnerships, DAZN. "We're thrilled to be able to offer elite international cricket to the many fans within Canada's multicultural and Commonwealth expat communities."

DAZN Canada's two-year agreement with PCB, WICB and SLC entails broadcasting all three boards' Twenty-20, Test cricket, and One Day International matches.

The four-year agreement with ECB will bring 19 international matches, all England home matches, Country T20 competitions, Women's T20 Leagues matches, and other ECB hosted matches and tournaments.
