Now, Indian sports channel Star Sports Network will be broadcasting this event for its viewers. For the first time in three months, the Indian audience will be getting to watch Live cricket. Until now, all shows run on these channels were reruns of previous matches and events.
While Star Sports Network brings the game live to India, the official broadcaster of the event is SuperSport. The network will cover it on their channel SuperSport 2.
Cricket South Africa director, Graeme Smith, believes that The Solidarity Cup is going to bring immense joy and excitement to the audience. After the several months of lockdown, the audience deserves the chance to watch live cricket again. Even the players along with the organisers are eagerly waiting for the event to commence.
