Afghan TV channel is broadcasting the series live. If you are not fainthearted, you can try searching for streams on match days.

Willow TV is broadcasting the series in the USA, rather surprisingly. I used to utilize illegal streams for any number of sporting events but the quality has really declined over the last few years - they are all full of pop-ups and constantly buffer.

^yeah I just checked willow last week and they said they'd broadcast the AFG-ZIM series...perfect timing as it will help fill the void before the next BD series.

I also figured out I can just stream willow broadcasts using internet explorer on my Xbox One and dont need to use the willow app on my phone + chromecast. Win-win situation for me and my Xbox!

On the subject of watching the games has anyone found a better way than the dodgy streams?? I'm finding it even harder now as the suburb I have moved to is notorious for slow internet?

Yeah, and the IPs of most of the streams are now blocked in India too. Most of them originated from the subcontinent and the Indian Telecom and Broadcasting ministry has been quite effective in snuffing them all out. Of course the new ones appear and they are getting blocked in no time. So, for us in India, streams are not even an option for cricket anymore, but the same dodgy streams might work for folks outside India.

Now that an official channel in Afghanistan has bought the rights, you can't expect the ACB to stream it via Facebook Live too..

Try using proxies.

webcric.com or smartcric.com also works.

In the US we have access to all cricket played with Willow TV. HD quality. Of course you have to pay, but its included in all Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi packages on Dish Network. I just get it solely as I'm not interested in any of the other BD channels.

Only WI and NZ don't get broadcast on Willow...and ESPN 3 has picked them up for US viewers. So we get all 10 Test nations broadcast one way or the other.

Imagine that, US has more access to cricket broadcasts than India!

And the Willow online channel is very cheap, I pay $7.00 per month for it.

Its HD...as good as any broadcast. But you need a US proxy to use.
