Cricket matches from the Indian Premier League (IPL) may be shown on YouTube after details of a probable deal with Google emerged this week. According to media reports, the Board of Control for Cricket will publicize the partnership on Wednesday.
The details of the deal are said to signify that live matches will be broadcast on YouTube in countries where the TV rights have not been sold.
This would include the UK following the collapse of Setanta which used to seize the TV and internet rights to the competition.
YouTube broadcast IPL highlights last year and has more recently shown significant events like a live U2 concert.
Reports about the deal claim that this year's IPL, which begins 12 March, will be broadcast on YouTube but precise details about territories have not yet been announced.
