Cricket Canada is pleased to announce Rogers Sportsnet as the exclusive media partner for the Caribbean T20 in Canada. Sportsnet will join existing corporate sponsors Teacher’s Scotch Whiskey & Apollo Convention Centre as tournament partners for the event.
\nFor the first time, LIVE CRICKET will be broadcast on a mainstream Canadian network with all of Canada’s matches on Sportsnet ONE and the rest of the tournament on Sportsnet World.

\n
\n“To be able to put our (players) on a stage where over 5 million Canadians have the opportunity to watch them play is a major achievement for the organization and our growing sports brand.” Moorthy continued, “Cricket has never had this level of exposure in the country and we will continue to push the sport into the mainstream of Canadian sporting conciousness.”<\/p>\n
