This year’s KSL will take place between 10th August and 1st September, with the semi and final taking place in Hove, on a Friday to accommodate Sky TV coverage. In all, 6 group fixtures (all double-headers with men’s T20 Blast matches) plus the semi and final will be live on Sky Sports TV, and TMS are also expected to cover most (but possibly not all) games on BBC radio.

One observation is that Loughborough have two ‘home’ games but one is at Derby. Surrey use Guildford & the Oval not sure how team are supposed to build real fan loyalty.
Trying to expand profile of game risks limiting actual attending matches.
Sky also need other sports with competition from BT and Eurosport

CC talked on TMS in-between T20 innings about KSL.
Would be interested to see stats on whether double headers in England have same effect as in BBL. ECB T20 audience is in nowhere near the same demographic.

Brilliant news. Well done all.
What a boost and just what we were all asking for, domestic women’s cricket live on TV. The pace of change is incredible.

Great, finally we can start to pencil some dates into the calendar. Only the small matter of the World Cup first!
KSL1:
LT: 2 home matches, 3 away
LL: 3 home matches, 2 away
SV: 3 home matches, 2 away
SS: 2 home matches, 3 away
WS: 3 home matches, 2 away
YD: 2 home matches, 3 away
Top Positions: 1. SV, 2. WS, 3. LL
Notice any correlation?
KSL2:
LT: 3 home matches, 2 away
LL: 2 home matches, 3 away
SV: 3 home matches, 2 away
SS: 3 home matches, 2 away
WS: 2 home matches, 3 away
YD: 2 home matches, 3 away
Conclusion: A bonus for SV, and YD must be feeling a bit hard done by!
