The European Cricket Network aims to provide welcome light relief in these difficult times by launching a new, exciting project – the European Cricket Studio - starting 6 April LIVE on Instagram - Monday through Thursdays at 1500 GMT * 1700 CET * 2030 IST.

LAUNCHING THE EUROPEAN CRICKET STUDIO!!

Sports commentators and presenters Michael McCann and Vinny Sandhu were set to spearhead the European Cricket League broadcasting team for ECL20, before the ongoing COVID-19 crisis saw the second-staging of the Champions League of European Cricket postponed just as spring was starting.

However, Michael and Vinny are unwilling to be completely derailed by COVID-19. Having replenished their creative juices, Michael and Vinny will take in turns for LIVE duty in an innovative and ground-breaking project, talking all things cricket in Europe in the European Cricket Studio Live on Instagram, Monday through Thursdays at 1500 GMT * 1700 CET * 2030 IST.

“Rather than being discouraged, I have committed with my colleagues to bring cricket fans more content, delivered innovatively and designed for maximum engagement. Our upcoming European Cricket Studio platform will provide an outlet for cricket-lovers to connect with us and provide an interactive experience unlike anything we’ve done before,” said Vinny, better known as the inimitable ‘Mr Maximo.’

“Sport is unscripted drama, and a great escape for so many worldwide, but of course life is so much bigger. Real pressure is being on the frontline in a crisis like this.” Michael said.

“Our exciting ‘European Cricket Studio’ project will provide a bit of regular light-relief from the uncertainty of current life. Featuring well-known cricketing faces across a range of in-depth interviews, challenges, and viewer-led shows, the studio will keep the European cricket flame burning bright."

Join the European Cricket Studio LIVE starting 6 April on Instagram - Monday through Thursdays at 1500 GMT - 1700 CET – 2030 IST.
