  • From Despair to Triumph: the Transformation of England Cricket
    From Despair to Triumph: The transformation of England Cricket Jim Chaplin AUGUST 2019 SRI CEO Jim Chaplin looks at the role played by Andrew Strauss and the team “behind the scenes” in laying the foundations for England’s World Cup win. n 9th March 2015, England were knocked out of the World Cup with a 15-run defeat by Bangladesh, having won just two of their Jim Chaplin Chief Executive Officer Osix group games. It was their third exit at the group stages in the past five tournaments. [email protected] Four years later, on a glorious July evening in London, Eoin Morgan lifted the World Cup trophy after, arguably, the most extraordinary game in the history of world cricket. We’ve witnessed a stunning transformation and much of the subsequent coverage and glory has quite rightly focused on the heroes on the pitch and the roles each of them played in the triumph. But what has been the impact of those behind the scenes in this formida- ble transformation? As a governing body in sport, blame for defeat often rests on your shoulders and victories attributed to the brilliance of those on the pitch. In the case of England Cricket, there are some notable and influential contributions beyond the playing squad. The architect of the victory was, in very many ways, Andrew Strauss. When Strauss took on the role of Director of Cricket in early 2015, he was not a candidate who would have met all the criteria of the job description. His administrative experience was non-existent, as were his governing body credentials.

  • ITV Buys IPL Cricket Rights
    ITV buys IPL cricket rights Broadcaster to air 59 live matches on ITV4 from mid-March • Mark Sweney • guardian.co.uk, Thursday 4 March 2010 08.14 GMT Indian Premier League: Balachandra Akhil of Royal Challengers. Photograph: Luigi Bennett/Sports Inc/PA Photos Cricket is to return to ITV for the first time in more than 30 years after the broadcaster acquired rights to this year's Indian Premier League competition. The deal will see the broadcaster air 59 of 60 live matches on ITV4. The IPL starts on 12 March and runs for 45 days. Coverage will be presented by Matt Smith with Bollywood actress and presenter Mandira Bedi who hosted Cricket World Cup coverage in India. The IPL will also have a specialist section on the ITV.com website and has the right to webcast matches. The tournament will be supported by a prominent marketing campaign on ITV. In the UK, the rights were previously held by pay-TV service Setanta, which collapsed last year. The missing match is likely to be the second of two on Sunday 4 April, Delhi Daredevils vs Bangalore Royal Challengers in Delhi. This clashes with British Touring Car racing from Thruxton, which ITV4 had already committed to show. In January, YouTube struck a deal to webcast live IPL matches globally. The IPL, which is an eight-team tournament of Twenty20 cricket, includes players such as Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne, Jacques Kallis and Chris Gayle. English players participating in this season's tournament include Kevin Pietersen, Eoin Morgan, Ravi Bopara and Owais Shah.
