New Zealand listeners will be able to enjoy ball by ball live coverage when England and the Blackcaps clash in June, with Sports Entertainment Network securing exclusive audio rights to the three Test Series.
All the action will be available across multiple platforms for New Zealand and Australian fans including SENZ and SEN radio networks and digital app streams.
Securing the exclusive audio rights for the highly anticipated series further strengthens the commitment to cricket in New Zealand from the 24/7 sports network.
Award winning broadcaster Adam Collins will be leading the commentary team. This will be his second year calling the English summer of cricket having also covered the England v India series in 2021 which India led 2-1. The fifth match of the Test Series, postponed due to Covid, will be broadcast on SEN from July 1, 2022.
Collins will be joined by former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney, respected BBC commentator Daniel Norcross and award-winning English broadcaster Nikesh Rughani as the commentary team for the series.
The schedule of the England v New Zealand Test Series will be:
• First Test: June 2 – June 6, Lord’s Cricket Ground, London
• Second Test: June 10 - June 14, Trent Bridge Cricket Ground, Nottingham
• Third Test: June 23 – June 27, Emerald Headingley Stadium, Leeds
SENZ Content Manager, Reuben Bradley, said the coverage will be a great outcome for New Zealand cricket fans.
“We’re thrilled to be able to bring more Test cricket to our audience around New Zealand and demonstrate SENZ’s commitment to cricket once again.”
“Playing England in England is always a special occasion, and even more so as we return to the scene of New Zealand’s greatest cricketing hour, Lord’s.”
“Our world champion Blackcaps are eager to prove they are still the best in the world, and we can’t wait to bring that coverage to our listeners.”
SENZ operates 28 radio stations throughout New Zealand.
