Sony Pictures Network India has bagged the broadcast rights for MSL T20 league

Cricket South Africa (CSA) and Global Sports Commerce (GSC) have announced that SPN India will be telecasting the first ever season of Mzansi Super League T20 (MSL T20) in India and the other subcontinental regions.

The SPN India holds the rights of telecasting the international fixtures from Australia, South Africa, England, West Indies, Sri Lanka etc. After losing out on the IPL telecasting rights to STAR network, this will be a major boost for their telecasting campaign in India.

Its Chief Revenue Officer and Head, Sports Business, Mr. Rajesh Kaul has quoted that, “Sony Pictures Networks is heavily invested in expanding its cricket portfolio and growing its sports offerings. We are pleased to announce that we are the official broadcasters of the inaugural edition of the Mzansi Super League (MSL) Twenty20 (T20) franchise cricket tournament. T20 cricket is an appealing fast-paced format and viewers can look forward to some great cricketing action from marquee players from around the world.”

As most South African players are famous in this part of the country, this tournament is expected to be a major boost to SPN India network to regain their viewers in India and expand the portfolio across the subcontinents.

The tournament starts on December 16th, 2018 and it will be telecasted in Sony Six, Sony Ten 2 and Sony ESPN.
