I love the cricket too - - - looking forward to the first day of the England Ireland Test tomorrow.
If I were you, I'd spend some time getting yourself a good IPtV provider in readiness for next year's IPL.
Here in the UK sly have all of the England matches covered and much of the English County matches. They also have allot of coverage from around the world too. BT Sport have carried the IPL here for the last couple of years, and Bein also cover the IPL too. That is in addition to Willow, Star and Hotstar. A good IPtV provider will carry most if not all of those and on the whole you won't need to use a vpn either, although it is often recommended.
