Neo Prime to broadcast West Indies tour of Bangladesh

Mumbai: Neo Prime has sealed the broadcast rights for the West Indies tour of Bangladesh which begins on Tuesday, November 13.

The upcoming series is expected to produce some exhilarating cricket as the West Indies, fresh from winning the recent World Twenty20 Championship - their first major title in eight years, aim to continue their ascent in the world rankings as they tour Bangladesh for 2 Tests, 5 One Day Internationals and 1 T20. Details of the full schedule are pasted in the annexure below.

Prasana Krishnan, COO, Neo Sports said: “West Indies cricket is on a high after their World T20 victory and we are thrilled to have stalwarts like Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels and Shivnarine Chanderpaul playing on Neo for our viewers in the Indian Sub-continent and the US to enjoy.

Neo has been home to many memorable moments in international cricket, and a winning West Indies side is great news for cricket fans as they are compelling to watch. They took the honours the last time these two sides played a series in Bangladesh, but the hosts have always battled hard on home turf, and this has all the makings of an entertaining series.”

Fans can look forward to some explosive batting performances as Gayle will be playing Tests against Bangladesh after 7 years and with an average of nearly 70 against them, he will be the player to watch out for.

Bangladesh have never beaten West Indies in a Test match at home and they will want to correct the record this time around.

The action will be live on Neo Prime.
