International cricket | T20 Big Bash | Domestic cricket
Until 2017-18, all home matches were broadcast on Channel Nine. From 2018-19, a new TV deal will see cricket belong on Foxtel and Channel Seven.
The home summer will be divided between the two networks, with all Test cricket and most of the Big Bash League to be simulcast.
Fox Sports have exclusive coverage of ODI and T20I cricket, while they will also broadcast some of the domestic one day competition and the final of the Sheffield Shield.
For away games, Fox Sports normally deal with away boards to secure the rights to matches, such as the recent tours to South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Domestic cricket
In a change under the new deal, the Sheffield Shield final and 13 JLT one-day will be broadcast exclusively on Fox Sports.
The remaining matches won’t be shown on free-to-air or pay TV. Instead, you’ll have to head to cricket.com.au to watch the JLT Cup (the domestic one-day cup formerly known as the Matador Cup) and the Sheffield Shield.
The live streams are available to viewers for free, but you will need to get yourself a Cricket ID to gain access to the coverage.
