Sky Sports and the ECB have announced details of a new expanded broadcast deal running through until the end of 2028.
Under the terms of the extension, which kicks in at the start of 2025, Sky will show an extra 90 hours of live cricket every year - including additional coverage of women's cricket matches and the Vitality Blast.
The deal keeps Sky as the pay TV home of new format The Hundred, with guarantees from the broadcaster that more live matches from all formats will be made available for free-to-air viewing.
"This is an exciting time for English cricket and we're thrilled to be furthering our long and successful partnership with the ECB," said Sky CEO Stephen van Rooyen.
He added: "On screen, we will continue to push boundaries in our BAFTA-winning coverage, bringing Sky Sports viewers even more live action from 2025 - including more women's cricket than ever before - with men's and women's England internationals and domestic cricket.
"Sky's investment over the last 30 years has contributed to a great deal of success on the pitch, and we hope to be at the forefront of much more to come."
The deal is rumoured to be worth at least £220m a year to the ECB. body check tags ::
