What happened

Cricket SA chief executive Pholetsi Moseki remains adamant that they will find a broadcast partner for the inbound tour of England later this year after Sky Sports pulled out, a tour which will feature three Tests and three ODIs.

Why it matters

SA will host England for what will be a massive tour during the festive season, with three Tests including the Boxing Day and New Year’s Tests in Centurion and Cape Town, respectively.

Common ground

Despite the magnitude of the tour, Sky Sports has recently pulled out of broadcasting the tour, marking an end to what has been a 30-year relationship as far as broadcasting England’s tour of SA.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Thought-Terminating Cliché: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
