ESPN to telecast Afro-Asia Cup

New Delhi: The Afro-Asia Cup cricket series involving teams from the two continents from June 6-12 will be telecast live on ESPN Star Sports, which won the rights after the Asian Cricket Council scrapped an earlier deal with sports broadcaster Nimbus.

The ACC on Thursday said it ended a deal with Nimbus as it failed to fulfil contractual obligations. The telecast rights for the series hosted by India this year were awarded to ESPN Star Sports (ESS).

``They (Nimbus) did not fulfil their contractual obligations... but it is always painful to terminate contracts,'' ACC CEO Syed Ashraful Huq told PTI over phone from Kuala Lumpur.

He, however, declined to share details of the scrapped contract with Nimbus citing confidentiality clause. He also did not reveal financial details of ACC's new deal with ESS.

Yesterday, Nimbus had said that it would not be part of the event, which starts on June 6 in Bangalore.

Matches would also be played in Chennai. — PTI
