Foxtel and Fox Sports are giving cricket lovers a taste of what’s to come this summer with the launch of the Fox Cricket channel’s “It’s cricket like never before” TVC.
From the streets to the beach and the MCG, the stars combine with the all-new Fox Cricket commentary team to show the lengths they will take to provide the biggest lineup of cricket including every ODI, T20, Test and BBL match to Foxtel’s new dedicated cricket channel, Fox Cricket.
Head of Fox Sports Peter Campbell said: “Cricket is synonymous with summer, with family and fun. As the new home of cricket in Australia, Fox Cricket will be the place for fans to sit back and enjoy the biggest lineup of summer action ever. Every men’s Test, T20, ODI and BBL match plus more women’s coverage than ever on a dedicated cricket channel – it’s doesn’t get much better than that.
“The new promo captures how much cricket is coming and the lengths we will take to bring it to fans. From the long- to the short-form, from the beach to the backyard, delivered by the best commentary team assembled.
“And with the footy season drawing to a close, there isn’t long to wait. Fans will experience cricket like never before, including the first 4K cricket broadcast when Australia takes on South Africa on November 4.”
