READ: Why fans won't get to watch India's warm-up matchesat ICC World Twenty20

[jakab]

This is the first time since 2007that India's warm-up matches will not be telecast.
New Delhi: Indian fans were taken bysurprise on Tuesday when their team's first warm-up match of the ICC World T20 against West Indies was not telecast by Star Sports.While there was live coverage of Afghanistan's duel against Hong Kong, there are no prizes for guessing which game the Indian fans wanted to watch.According a report in the Times of India, CC TV's Sunset+Vine is in charge of production for all matchesat this year's WT20. While, Star Sports is ICC's broadcast partner.
“We have taken a conscious decision to not telecast the warm-upmatches because it takes the gloss away from the tournament matches, which began from March 8. It is something which we have learnt from the previous tournaments.“Telecasting the practice ties, which aren't `official', undermines the importance of games in the first round of the competition, which actually are T20 Internationals. We'll review this strategy after the event, and do what is feasible the next time,” ICC Head of Media and Communications Sami Ul Hasan toldTOI.ICC's decision also means fans will be deprived of India's second warm-up match against South Africaon Saturday.

Broadcastin Contract is only for main t20 event.. also warm up matches r sponserless.. at the end they r just warm up matches..

This is perfectly good ploy from ICC and its broadcast partner..

Warmup matches are pretty useless and unofficial ones where all 15 players are allowed to play..

While the qualifiers are ICC approved and official ones.. If the governing body and its official partner itself giving importance to unofficial matches ahead of official ones, how do they expect to promote the game and make it globalized..

They can telecast the warmups if it doesn't clash with official ones...

+1

I find it surprising when People prefer to Watch Warn-ups and Call qualifiers Crap.
Most of the people only want to watch Matches featuring India even if its an Unofficial Match.
