Seven West Media is seeking to terminate its $450 million cricket rights deal, alleging Cricket Australia has repeatedly breached quality and standards provisions of the contract.

Seven, which signed the deal with Cricket Australian in 2018, lodged proceedings against cricket’s governing body in the Federal Court on Thursday. It wants the court to allow it to cancel its deal, for which it pays $75 million cash and $7 million in free advertising a year. The agreement is meant to run through to 2024.
