The Allan Border & Belinda Clark Medal Night will be broadcast live on both Seven and Fox Sports. The agreement marks the first time in 40 years that Channel Nine has not broadcast the Australian summer of cricket. However, the network already has deals in place to broadcast the 2019 Ashes series in England, the 2019 World Cup in the UK and the mens' and women's 2020 World T20 tournaments in Australia. "Our thanks go to Channel Nine, who for more than 40 years has broadcast international cricket at a world-renowned standard – and in so doing has done more to promote our sport than any organisation
in Australian cricket history," Sutherland said. "Our sincere thanks also to Network Ten for their role in taking the Big Bash League to a new level, and for so willingly providing a platform to launch and grow the Women’s Big Bash League. As a startup League, the BBL is a phenomenal success story. Over the last five years Ten has made an extraordinary contribution to the league and its growth in bringing new fans to cricket. "We have nothing but gratitude and respect for Nine and Ten – and sincerely thank them for their contribution to our sport. "We’re very excited about what the future holds with both Fox Sports and Seven West Media."
