Neo Prime secures broadcast rights for West Indies tour of Bangladesh

MUMBAI: Neo Prime, formerly Neo Cricket, has sealed the broadcast rights for the West Indies tour of Bangladesh for Indian sub-continent and the US market.

Fresh from winning their first major title in eight years, the World Twenty20 Champions aim to continue their ascent in the world rankings as they tour Bangladesh for 2 Tests, 5 One Day Internationals and 1 T20.

Neo Sports Broadcast COO Prasana Krishnan said, "West Indies cricket is on a high after their World T20 victory and we are thrilled to have stalwarts like Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels and Shivnarine Chanderpaul playing on Neo for our viewers in the Indian Sub-continent and the US to enjoy."

Nimbus Communications, the parent company of Neo Sports Broadcast, incidentally held the broadcast rights for Bangladesh cricket. Currently, the Bangladesh Cricket Board is without an official broadcaster following a cold response from broadcasters to international media rights tender.
