1 Listen to Bangladesh v England only on talkSPORT 2

talkSPORT 2, the new 24-hour national sports radio station, has reached an agreement with the Bangladesh Cricket Board to broadcast full commentary of England’s one-day series in Bangladesh.

Starting tomorrow [Friday 7 October] at 9am, talkSPORT 2 will be the only UK station with ball-by-ball coverage of all three matches in the series, while sister station talkSPORT will have updates every 15 minutes and wicket flashes. By securing the rights, talkSPORT 2 has prevented the prospect of an England international fixture not being on the radio for the first time since 2003.

Managing Editor of talkSPORT 2, Mike Bovill, said: “As soon as we heard there was a possibility this series wasn’t going to be broadcast, we had to step in on behalf of England cricket fans. We are so grateful to Bangladesh Cricket for making sure the series will be on UK radio.

“Since launching in March, talkSPORT 2 has continued to invest in a great range of sports rights, including Premier League and European football, Twenty20 cricket, international golf and tennis, MotoGP and the very best domestic rugby league and union.”

Moinul Haque Chowdury, owner of rights holder Total Sports Marketing, added: “We are delighted to enter into an agreement with talkSPORT as it will ensure the maximum number of listeners in the UK can enjoy coverage of this high-profile and much anticipated series between two great cricket-loving nations.”
