In an exciting development, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has opened its vast archive of match footage and programming to its broadcasters, reports ZEE News.
In a cricket crazy country like ours, fans will now have the opportunity to relive some of the greatest cricketing moments across generations amid the 21-day lockdown due to the spread of the novel coronavirus,
This move will enable fans around the world to watch memorable cricket matches, highlights and ICC films.
Reflecting on the decision, ICC Chief Executive Manu Sawhney said, “We are facing unprecedented times as a sports industry and the need to connect with our fan communities is perhaps greater than ever. With no live cricket to unite our fans around the world, we thought the next best thing would be to release our archive to broadcast partners so fans can enjoy some magnificent memories."
The archives have games dating back to 1975 when the first One Day Cricket World Cup was held in England.
It also has the footage of men’s and women’s ICC Cricket World Cups and T20 World Cups, the Champions Trophy as well as the U19 World Cups which now have been made available.
