The Notts Outlaws will feature on television a minimum of four times this summer after Sky announced their televised cricket schedule for the 2018 season.

The first match to be aired involving the team will be on Thursday 17 May, against Lancashire Lightning at Emirates Old Trafford, when they begin their defence of the Royal London One-Day Cup they won at Lord’s last summer.

The other three matches where the Outlaws will be screened live are all in the Vitality Blast – with two of them at Trent Bridge and one on the road.

First up, on the opening night of the T20 competition on Wednesday 4 July, Notts will host the Birmingham Bears in what is a re-match of last year’s final.

On Saturday 28 July, Notts’ visit to the Emirates Riverside will be broadcast as they take on Durham Jets.

And another home match has been scheduled in for television coverage when the Outlaws host Worcestershire Rapids on the evening of Saturday 4 August.

Should Notts make it through to the knock-out stages, additional games in the Royal London One-Day Cup and Vitality Blast could also be broadcast. The 50-over final at Lord's is on Saturday 30 June, while the 20-over Finals Day at Edgbaston is on Saturday 15 September.

Also live are the three international matches being played at Trent Bridge this summer – the Royal London One-Day Internationals on Tuesday 19 June against Australia and on Thursday 12 July against India, and the Test Match from Saturday 18 August to Wednesday 22 August against India.
