Sony Pictures Networks India (SPNI) on Wednesday said it has acquired the television and digital rights to broadcast and stream all New Zealand-based BLACKCAPS and WHITE FERNS matches into India and associated territories for the next seven years.
The landmark deal, from May 1, 2024, to April 30, 2031, will include India’s tours of New Zealand in the 2026-27 and 2030-31 summers, as well as all other bilateral Tests, ODIs, and T20Is played in New Zealand during the designated period, Sony Pictures said in a release.
