The T20 World Cup returns for a second year running with teams from across the globe convening Down Under for a celebration of superb white-ball talent.
The delayed 2020 tournament, which took place in 2021, means that cricket fans are being spoiled with tournaments in consecutive years.
This time around, reigning champions Australia are in action on home soil as they seek to defend their title.
Last year’s runners-up New Zealand are also among the favourites, while England have experienced an overhaul with Jos Buttler taking over the captaincy from Eoin Morgan since last year.
Fans around the globe will be keen to soak up all the drama on TV if they can’t make it to a string of iconic stadiums Down Under, and UK audiences must brace themselves for some early starts if they are to watch games live.
RadioTimes.com brings you all the details you need to know about how to watch the T20 World Cup, including Sky TV and online coverage details and confirmed TV information for group stage games.
