The upcoming three-Test series between England and Pakistan, starting on October 7, faces a potential TV blackout in the UK due to a lack of interest from broadcasters. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) issued a tender last month, but no UK broadcasters, including Sky Sports and TNT Sport, have submitted bids or entered negotiations for the series. This marks a significant shift from previous years when Sky Sports held exclusive rights to England's Test series, including their historic 3-0 win in Pakistan in December 2022. The decision by Sky to withdraw stems from a strategic focus on home series and major international events, coupled with the high costs of acquiring overseas rights. The PCB's choice to engage a local marketing agency for rights sales, rather than global firms, has further complicated matters. As a result, British cricket fans may miss out on the upcoming matches in Pakistan, raising concerns about the future of international cricket broadcasting.
