Cricket Broadcasting

TNL has not broadcast any international cricket tournaments until 2016. It will be first host for the 2016 Asia Cup tournament from 24 February 2016 to 6 March 2016. But, due to many technical problems and coverage issues, many complaints came about the rights of broadcasting cricket matches. Initially, the cricket rights were given to Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation to broadcast the tournament,but now its analyzed that the 2016 ICC World Twenty20 will be broadcast on the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation and the Asia Cup will be broadcast on TNL.
