Finally there will be some Cricket on TV without paying Sky - although limited, its heading in the right direction. I guess the ECB are tired on declining interest....
"A five year deal with England and Wales Cricket Board will see more than 100 hours of free-to-air cricket from 2020 on the BBC.
The BBC deal includes live TV coverage of England men and women's Twenty20 internationals and the ECB's new men's domestic T20 tournament. TV highlights of England men's home internationals will also be shown. And the BBC also retains the radio rights to English cricket, securing the future of Test Match Special."
