Nimbus today bagged the telecast rights for the four cricket one-day internationals
to be played by India in Ireland in June.
Nimbus would pay USD 6.05 million per match for the series that is to be played
from June 26 to July 1, Cricket Board (BCCI) Vice President Lalit
Modi announced here.
The series involves three ODIs against South Africa
and another against Ireland in Belfast.
The itinerary was in doubt after Zee Television pulled
out of its contract with the BCCI yesterday.
Zee's deal with the BCCI was for a four-year period with a
minimum of 25 one-dayers featuring the Indian team in neutral venues.
Incidentally, Nimbus had yesterday walked out of its
deal with the Asian Cricket Council for the Afro Asian Cup which
would now be shown on ESPN Star Sports.
