Cricket broadcasting

TNL did not broadcast any international cricket tournaments until 2016. The first hosted broadcast was for the 2016 Asia Cup tournament from 24 February, 2016 to 6 March, 2016. But, due to technical problems and coverage issues, many complaints came about the rights of broadcasting cricket matches. Initially, the cricket rights were given to Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation to broadcast the tournament, but now it is thought that the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 will be broadcast on the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation and the Asia Cup will be broadcast on TNL.[2][3][4][5][6]
