The Cricket World Cup is set to fill the sporting calendar over the coming weeks, with approximately 336 hours of white-ball cricket about to dominate attention across India.

Of course, tuning in to such an outrageous amount of cricket may be taxing for those of us in the office – and unable to successfully dual-screen the action behind those spreadsheets.

Fear not, while Sky Sports boast exclusive live coverage of the tournament throughout the autumn, there will be highlights shown on free-to-air TV so everyone can keep up to date with the biggest bashes and dramatic thrills.

England head to the subcontinent aiming to defend their title, but face stern opposition in the face of typically strong teams, India, Pakistan, Australia, and a host of dark horses.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about Cricket World Cup highlights on TV in 2023.
