Seven’s latest move puts at risk the $450 million rights deal between the two organisations, of which the TV network pays $70 million per year.

"In the most challenging environment sport has faced, with the support of our friends at the BCCI, CA has ensured that the much-anticipated series with India can go ahead safely." Fresh twist in Channel 7’s $450m war with Cricket Australia "I'm proud to say we are doing just that. "CA has maintained all along our commitment to delivering a thrilling summer of cricket and on behalf of all involved, be that governments, partners, players and staff. "With so much positivity around Australian cricket, it is disappointing that Seven West Media has again chosen to use the media to talk our wonderful game down," Hockley said. However, on Tuesday evening, CA boss Nick Hockley responded, with the organisation growing tired of the drama being played out in public after more than three months of dispute between the parties. “Channel 7 claims this change was driven by the BCCI, and has hurt Seven’s product because it has had to wait until December 17 to launch a major summer against drawcards India and means there will be no international build-up for the BBL before it kicks off on December 10,” the Daily Telegraph reports. It prompted CA to move the one-day and T20 matches against India to before the Test series, leaving Seven without an international match until December 17.įox Sports has exclusive rights to limited-overs matches and share the Tests with Seven.
However, those matches were cancelled when the T20 World Cup was postponed due to COVID-19, as well as a one-off Test against Afghanistan in Perth. Under the original schedule announced in May, the men’s summer did have a white-ball start with Twenty20s against West Indies and India, before the T20 World Cup. Seven believe CA gave in to the wishes of the BCCI to start the men’s summer with white-ball matches rather than Tests, which are behind a paywall and broadcast on Foxtel. The free-to-air broadcaster on Monday night lodged an application for discovery to see emails between CA, the BCCI, Foxtel and state governments.
