I really find it hard to understand this. India has ranji games and the IPL on Star. Sold international rights to Foxtel here, Sky in UK, etc.
We've had the Sheffield Shield final on fox, All Marsh Cup games on Kayo and majority on fox, All big bash games on Kayo/Fox and nearly all of them on Channel 7 FTA too. These are sold abroad too. Sony telecasts each game in the subcontinent.
In comparison, I absolutely struggle to see any televised domestic cricket from the UK. Forget the first class games - even the T20 blast isn't telecasted in entirety or at all here.
And then you introduce a new format, rake in big names in Smith, Warner, etc - small tournament, 32 games and hearing even this won't be telecasted in entirety. Only 10 games on BBC.
Pretty sure no one internationally would buy rights to see 1/4 of a tournament.
Seriously, what's wrong with ECB? Even PSL, BPL, CPL are now telecasted internationally. I know a few clubs put up live streams on YouTube but that's nowhere near broadcasting standards or an enjoyable coverage
