Mumbai, May 31: Nimbus today bagged the
telecast rights for the four cricket one-day internationals to
be played by India in Ireland next month.
Nimbus would pay 6.05 million US dollars per
match for the series that is to be played from June 26 to July
1, Cricket Board (BCCI) Vice-President Lalit Modi announced
here.
The series involves three ODIs against South
Africa and another against Ireland in Belfast.
The itinerary was in doubt after Zee
Television pulled out of its contract with the BCCI yesterday.
Zee's deal with the BCCI was for a four-year
period with a minimum of 25 one-dayers featuring the Indian team
in neutral venues.
Incidentally, Nimbus had yesterday walked out
of its deal with the Asian Cricket Council for the Afro-Asian
Cup, which would now be shown on ESPN-Star Sports. (Agencies)
