The beauty of cricket is that there's barely a minute of the day that goes by without an over being bowled somewhere in the world.

Spring is a time for fresh starts, with March and April bringing new seasons of the County Championship, Indian Premier League, and Pakistan Super League.

There will be extra interest in the opening rounds of the UK's domestic red-ball competition as places in the England Test team could be up for grabs – though captain Ben Stokes is out until May.

Elsewhere, the ODI series between New Zealand women and South Africa women continues in the Southern Hemisphere.

Sky Sports boast the lion's share of cricket TV rights, while the game has leaked back onto free-to-air platforms, with The Hundred playing in front of BBC cameras over the summer months.

TNT Sports and discovery+ have also waded into broadcasting more cricket lately, with several England Test matches to be shown on the platform.

Fans across the world will be desperate to soak up as much global action as possible before it heads to the Southern Hemisphere, whatever the format, while Test cricket fans will be satisfied to see five-day, full-fat action still on their screens.

Radio Times brings you a round-up of live cricket on TV today and coming up.
