A massive coup pulled off by the PCA (Punjab Cricket Association) even before the start of the tournament is bringing onboard Star Sports as the official broadcaster. The move will guarantee plentiful newbie players exposure with respect to the whole country getting to possibly see the unearthing of a lot of new talent.
It is worth mentioning that all the 33 matches of the tournament will be televised live and exclusive on Star Sports First. Furthermore, readers must note that Star hasn’t compromised on the quality of commentators for this T20 league.
