MUMBAI: When it come to sport acquisitions cricket is certainly the flavour of the season. Ten Sports has taken the worldwide rights to the upcoming South African tour of Sri Lanka in August.

Earlier Ten had signed a deal with Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) only for those territories where it broadcasts in. That would be Asia and the Middle East.

The five one day internationals and two tests will be shown on Ten Sports in India, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. In addition the tourney will also air on M-Net Supersports in Africa and on the Rupert Murdoch owned Fox Sports in Australia.
