The partnership between Tamasha and Trans Group FZE has secured the exclusive live-streaming rights for Pakistan's home T20I series against New Zealand and the women's series against West Indies, comprising five T20Is and three ODIs.

PCB's Chief Operating Officer, Salman Naseer, expressed satisfaction with the increased value of international home series rights for Pakistan, underscoring robust market interest driven by hosting diverse international teams.

“The increase in the value of international home series rights for the Pakistan region highlights the solid market interest which stems from hosting various international teams.

“I am delighted for the fans who must be happy with the availability of various streaming platforms for the 13 white-ball international matches involving both the men’s and women’s teams in the next month. Hopefully, this will multiply the interest levels towards the game of cricket in the country.”
