Englewood CO (SPX) Aug 10, 2004
EchoStar Communications and its DISH Network, the nation's leading TV provider of major cricket matches, will exclusively broadcast the Holland Cup and The International Cricket Council (ICC) 2004 Champions Trophy on DISH On Demand Pay-Per-View in August and September.

The Holland Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy are available as a bundled package for $249.95.

The Holland Cup, also known as the Dutch Tri-Series, is expected to be an action-packed triangular including India, Pakistan and Australia with four, one-day internationals.

It will be the first multi-nation series to take place in the Netherlands and only the second time in 25 years these three countries have faced off in a triangular tournament.

During the Carlton & United Series of 1999-2000, the three nations faced off and Australia won nine straight matches. The Holland Cup package can be purchased separately for $99.95 and will be broadcast on channels 459 and 472 from Aug. 21-28.

The ICC Champions Trophy is the only cricket event besides the World Cup listed on the cricket calendar that brings all 10 test-playing nations together to compete in one event.

The ICC Champions Trophy for North, Central and South America will include the national teams of Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, West Indies, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Kenya, host country England and, for the first time, the national team from the United States. The ICC Champions Trophy will be broadcast Sept. 10-25.

The Holland Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy are also available for commercial establishments including restaurants and universities. Commercial establishments can call 800-454-0843 for more information.
