There’s plenty of live cricket to soak up on TV over the Easter weekend with County Championship and Indian Premier League action ready to cater to all audiences.

It’s the fledgling stages of the County Championship with a big summer of cricket on the way in the Test game.

England aren’t in action until June when they face New Zealand in the UK, while The Hundred will follow shortly after with its new format of the game.

The Indian Premier League is a third of the way into its season with a tremendously tight battle raging in the standings. Six of the 10 teams are level on six points each ahead of Easter weekend with no undefeated teams left in the tournament.

Rajasthan Royals appear to be in the best shape at the time of writing but one result could cause seismic shifts across the table with plenty of action still to come.

Check out your guide to the best cricket matches on TV today and across the week to come.
