You can bet Sky will show one of the day night County matches
Another change White ball cricket returns with the the Royal London One-Day cup taking a new position in the first half of the season, with a final on July 1. The knockout stages have changed this season, with only the top three from each group qualifying. The winners will progress straight to the semi finals on June 16 and 17, in which they will enjoy home advantage. Their opposition will be determined by two play-offs on June 13 between the teams finishing second and third in each group – second in the North Group at home to third in the South, and vice versa. |

The annual Colchester Cricket Festival has been called off for 2017 due to no fixture there for 3 months in the middle of summer.

Interesting that the Windies will be here for tests late August/September, test series against them in England are usually in May. T20 Finals Day is later than usual too.

FFS do I have to spell it out, there is no live England cricket or home based trophy on Freeview or Freesat at all these days and has not been for years. So for someone who refuses to line the pockets of the Aussie paperboy, cricket ended years ago. |

Will Ch 5 highlights be continuing for some matches or will ITV4 be the only source? Also, I recall Pick, I think it was, being used for the highlights of one test series a couple of years ago.

So you refuse to watch the highlights that were on ITV4 too ? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face
I've never been a cricket fan, but when the sport has been so monopolised by the paytv platform for LIVE coverage for so long is it any wonder it has virtually disappeared from some people's thoughts of sport. As for highlights, what do you get an hour or half an hour of a full day's play? Hardly worth bothering with. |

My nephew and his friends have no clue about the sport of cricket as their families cannot afford a sports subscription. A large chunk of their generation are growing up never having watched live cricket on TV.
Now people may think that means nothing, but if kids grow up not interested then the sport will decline more than it has already |

The sport has more money in it but the majority of the England players names will be unknown to many due to it being on satellite/cable tv.
