A decision on who will broadcast live coverage of England's Test series in India will be announced on Thursday.
Nimbus, which paid £352m for rights to India's home matches until 2010, has agreed a deal and will reveal details in a statement on Thursday morning. The series could be shown in the UK on pay-per-view television, with Setanta, Zee TV, Sony and ARY Digital among the leading candidates.
Sky reportedly also remain in the frame for the three-match series. This is despite Nimbus chairman Harish Thawani saying on Tuesday: "There are currently no negotiations with Sky - they finished at the weekend. "We were somewhat disappointed with Sky Sports' offer but we respect the fact they have their own business to run and own budgets." Sky holds exclusive rights to all of England's home games after signing a new four-year deal in 2005, and has shown England's overseas Tests for 16 years.
A Sky Sports spokesman refused to comment, citing a confidentiality clause relating to the negotiations. BBC Radio are providing ball-by-ball coverage of the three matches on Test Match Special, after completing a four-year agreement with Nimbus.
