LONDON - Rolling Stone Mick Jagger is set to take to the Internet with a cricket bat.

Jagger's new Internet company, Jagged Internetworks, said Tuesday it was teaming up with former England cricketer Geoff Boycott to bring live coverage of a major cricket tournament to the World Wide Web.

"This is the future of sports information," Jagger said in a statement. "In a few years from now, the Internet will be a huge player in sports broadcasting across the globe."

Jagger, who became a father this week for the sixth time, was preparing for a concert in the United States as his company announced the deal to cover the Akai Singer Champions Trophy in the United Arab Emirates.

England, the West Indies, Pakistan, and India will compete for the Champions Trophy in the one-day international tournament starting Thursday.
