A report by the ICC, quoted Chief Executive Manu Sawhney as saying:

We are facing unprecedented times as a sports industry and the need to connect with our fan communities is perhaps greater than ever. With no live cricket to unite our fans around the world we thought the next best thing would be to release our archive to broadcast partners so fans can enjoy some magnificent memories.

So, if you have ever felt bad about not watching your favourite historic matches, or just want to re-watch them – this is your chance.
