Sky Sports reveal 60 televised games

Sky Sports have announced details of the 60 domestic fixtures they are to broadcast live this summer, with each county being shown at least three times.

Sky will kick off their 2013 coverage with the LV= County Championship match between Somerset and 2012 winners Warwickshire, starting on April 25.

A host of Yorkshire Bank 40 and Friends Life t20 fixtures, including the finals of each competition, will then be shown live prior to a second championship fixture being televised in the final week of the season.

The LV= Challenge between Essex and England, which takes place just days before the first Ashes Test, has also been added to Sky Sports’ schedule.

Paul King, Sky Sports’ cricket executive producer, said: “2013 is the year that cricket takes centre stage with the ICC Champions Trophy in England followed by back-to-back Ashes series and the domestic game has a chance to ride on that wave.

“Hampshire were the limited-overs kings last year but there will be a number of sides who fancy stealing that crown, while the championship will also be closely fought. We can't wait for it all to start in April.”

In addition to watching Sky Sports on TV, viewers will be able to watch all of the aforementioned matches on Sky Go, which allows customers to stream the footage on laptops, computers, tablet and mobile devices.
