Simon Green, head of BT Sport, said: “We loved bringing the highs, lows and controversy of The Ashes to our viewers in 2017/18 and we relish the opportunity to bring all the action from the Ashes to our viewers. men’s and women’s ashes in 2021/22. BT Sport’s cricket content has continued to grow since we signed our first rights deal with Cricket Australia, and we are delighted to deliver more world-class men’s and women’s cricket from Australia to fans across the UK.
