"Sky Sports' cricket coverage - still trying to catch its breath from a stunning 2019 - goes from strength to strength for the year ahead. We're thrilled to add the IPL to an already busy cricketing calendar for 2020 joining events such as the ICC Men's and Women's T20 World Cup's from Australia.

"England's international summer will feature visits from Australia, Pakistan, West Indies and Ireland, as well as domestic cricket which will be headlined by The Hundred."

Mumbai Indians won the 2019 tournament with a dramatic one-run win over Chennai Super Kings in Hyderabad, claiming their fourth title in the process.
