Ten Sports Network: With England set to tour Pakistan in October, uncertainties loom over the television broadcast rights for the much-anticipated series. As interest in bilateral cricket series continues to decline globally, securing a deal has proven to be a challenging task.

The initial reserve price set for the series was overly ambitious, causing broadcasters to shy away from negotiations, ESPNcricinfo reported on Saturday.

Reports from The Guardian on Thursday indicated that major UK broadcasters, including Sky and TNT Sport, have shown limited interest in acquiring the rights. Despite these reports, the PCB remains optimistic, dismissing talks of a possible UK blackout as “alarmist.”
