ITN Productions has agreed a further deal with News UK to produce fast turnaround digital clips of England international cricket, including the next Ashes series.

Digital subscribers will be able to watch near-live clips of England's Investec Test Matches, Royal London One Day Internationals, NatWest International T20s and selected domestic cricket matches.

The ITN Productions team will be overseen by Editorial Director, Chris Shaw and led by Sports Editor, Raj Mannick.

This is another key win for ITN Productions and reinforces our credentials in digital sports production, said Mark Browning, Managing Director of ITN Productions. We're delighted to be working with News UK and the extension of our partnership to provide international cricket clips for its digital platforms in addition to Premier League and Aviva Premiership Rugby highlights is testament to the strength of our sports production team and fast-turnaround publishing capability.
