They already had rights to N Zealand cricket, (and Big Bash T20 in Australia) but capturing WI cricket from Sky is a plus for BT.

Does this point to BT becoming the place for cricket (I.e. Will they add the Ashes and IPL as well) or does this indicate they are facing the likelihood that Sky will retain the Ashes?

One thing for certain is Sky will retain the rights to England home internationals (possibly with 1 test a year on free to air TV?) - ECB couldn't afford for them to go anywhere else.
