Sky will make the ICC Cricket World Cup final available on free-to-air television should England make it to the showpiece event at Lord's on 14 July.

Sky UK and Ireland Chief Executive Stephen van Rooyen said: "We are proud to be the broadcaster for a home Cricket World Cup - one of the world's biggest and most exciting sporting events.

"Our aim has always been to celebrate what could be a 'once in a generation' moment of a home team in a big final on home soil.

"So, if England reach the final, we will make the match available to everyone so the whole country can be part of a rare and special big sporting moment."

Lets hope England make it to the final so those without a Sky subscription can watch it. I reckon it would be shown on the Pick channel.
