“As per information, Disney Star is paying around $3 billion for the rights,” a senior ICC Board member told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
Disney Star won following a single round sealed bid process which has yielded a significant uplift to the rights fee from the previous cycle, continuing the impressive growth and reach of cricket, the apex body said.
The decision followed a robust tender, bidding and evaluation process, which started in June 2022.
ICC Chair Greg Barclay said: “We are delighted to continue to partner with Disney Star as the home of ICC cricket for the next four years which has delivered an outstanding result for our Members and will support our ambitious growth plans.
“They will play a crucial role in the future of our sport and connecting and engaging with more fans than ever before.”
