talkSPORT 2 has created a new deal with New Zealand sports radio station Sports Entertainment New Zealand (SENZ).
The move means the station will bring listeners live, exclusive coverage of India’s Test series with New Zealand.
Coverage will be fronted by former New Zealand captain Jeremy Coney, IPL star Abhishek Jhunjhunwala, former England fast bowler Steve Harmison as well as former England spinner and current Surrey Head Coach Gareth Batty, and former England spinner Monty Panesar.
Daniel McHardy, Jon Norman and Jarrod Kimber make up the rest of the team which will be supported by scorer Garry Morgan.
The Test series will be broadcast on talkSPORT 2, talkSPORT’s Cricket YouTube Channel, SENZ in New Zealand and SEN in Australia with additional content posted after play via talkSPORT’s ever-popular Following On Podcast.
talkSPORT Cricket Editor, Jon Norman, said: “Ahead of England’s Test tour of New Zealand, which will also be live on talkSPORT, I’m delighted to team up with SENZ to bring cricket fans coverage of another iconic three Test series featuring two teams that have also competed in the World Test Championship Final.”
Christopher Haigh, Chief Media Officer for Entain Australia & New Zealand, the operators of SENZ, said: “This is a world-class team that’s been compiled to bring the action to cricket lovers in both hemispheres. Live cricket coverage is hugely valued by Kiwi sports fans, and we’re very pleased to partner with talkSPORT 2 to deliver this for a keenly awaited tour.”
