Foxtel features 336 hours of Live match coverage on FOX Cricket and FOX Sports from Thursday, May 30 before the Semi-finals start on Tuesday, July 9.
Head of FOX Sports, Peter Campbell, said: “Foxtel is the Home of ICC Cricket World Cups in Australia. Our amazing Women’s team brought home the silverware from the West Indies last year, and our aspirations for our men are no less. What a great tournament this shapes up to be, and Foxtel has it all.”
Adam Gilchrist, said: “With so many superstars spread across so many nations this will be one of the most hotly contested world cups ever.”
“Australia has got its two big guns back after a tricky 12 months and are more than capable of pulling off back world cup victories, tournament hosts England will carry the hopes of a nation on their shoulders, cricketing giants India have a very strong line up and the killer instinct of Kohli, South Africa will carry a sense of atonement for the pain of 1999 in the same country.
“Then there is Pakistan, New Zealand and the West Indies who can all rise to the occasion and beat anyone in the world when they are firing…all the ingredients are there, I can’t wait for it to start.”
Australia’s World Cup defence will be led by Aaron Finch who will welcome back batsmen Steve Smith and David Warner to international cricket, joining a bowling attack spearheaded by Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc – 20 years on from Australia’s dramatic 1999 World Cup victory in England.
The competition will be fierce with superstars Virat Kohli (India), Faf du Plessis (South Africa), Joe Root (England), Ross Taylor (New Zealand) and Chris Gayle (West Indies) trying to spur their nations to World Cup glory.
