Reporter

SEN has announced its broadcast line-up for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) Final and Ashes series, led by acclaimed broadcaster Adam Collins.

Collins, who has called for SEN Cricket in six countries since 2018, will head up the commentary team throughout all six Tests in England from June 7. His deep knowledge and passion for the game has earned him a dedicated following among cricket enthusiasts around the world and SEN listeners.

Joining Collins for the WTC Final will be Ravi Shastri and Harsha Bhogle, who played an instrumental part in SEN’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy coverage earlier this year.

Heading to Birmingham for the start of the Ashes, former Aussie quick Damien Fleming will be in the thick of things as SEN’s headline expert for the series.

Also returning to SEN will be Daniel Norcross and former New Zealand skipper Jeremy Coney.

Bolstering the team across all six tests are SEN Cricket stalwarts Peter Lalor from The Australian and Cricbuzz’s Bharat Sundaresan.

Commentator Nikesh Rughani and cricket.com.au journalist Louis Cameron – who were also part of the India vs Australia coverage – and statisticians Andrew Samson and Phil Long will round out the team across the series, with more announcements to come.

Collins is excited for what will be a landmark English summer.

“Going back to the days of Bradman, there’s always been something very special about listening to Australia playing Ashes Tests through the night from England on the radio,” he says.

“We’re thrilled with the team that has been assembled for six Tests in seven weeks and can’t wait to hit the ground running at the WTC Final. We’re looking forward to your company deep into the night on each playing day as we make our way across the country.”

Listeners can enjoy every ball of the World Test Championship Final and the Ashes live across SEN’s and SENZ’s radio networks and digital platforms, including the SEN App.

The 2023 Ashes Series will be broadcast on the following SEN stations:

SEN 1116am, SEN 1170am, SENQ 693am, SEN Gold Coast 1620am, SENTrack 657am Perth, SEN SA 1629am, SEN Tassie 1629am, SEN Top End 1611am, SEN Fanatic (DAB+).
