MUMBAI, November 11: Ten Sports, the world’s number one sports
channel for south Asians, will telecast ball-by-ball coverage of
England’s Tour of Pakistan, which starts with the first Test
on Saturday, November 12.
Buoyed by their recent performance against Australia in the Ashes,
England will be looking for a win against Pakistan.
With the English captain, Michael Vaughan, out of the first test
due to knee injury and the visitors losing the warm-up match against
Pakistan A, the task seems to be cut out for the host nation. Marcus
Trescothick will lead the English team in Vaughan’s absence.
England plays three Test matches and five ODIs, with the first
test scheduled in Multan from November 12-16, followed by the second
test in Faisalabad form November 20-24 and the third test in Lahore
from November 29 to December 3.
Ten Sports has the exclusive rights to telecast all international
cricket from Pakistan. Live coverage of the first two Tests starts
at 9:50 am IST for all the five days, while the third test will
begin at 10:30 am IST.
