NatWest has signed as the sponsor of channel Five’s 2010 summer cricket coverage.
The bank is a long-standing sponsor of England’s one-day home international matches and will support Five’s highlights of England’s Test matches and limited-overs cricket.
NatWest’s deal with Five will also include an online sponsorship package.
The bank follows the Australian wine producer Wolf Blass, which backed Five’s broadcasts of Ashes coverage last summer, as the sponsor of ‘Cricket on Five’.
Five also revealed that the former England captain Michael Vaughan is to join its commentary team.
