(NASDAQ: VEON, Euronext Amsterdam: VEON), a global digital operator that provides converged connectivity and online services, announces that Tamasha, its leading digital entertainment platform in Pakistan, has secured digital streaming rights for all major International Cricket Council's (ICC) tournaments throughout 2024 and 2025.

Jazz CEO Aamir Ibrahim announced Tamashas acquisition of streaming rights for all major ICC tournaments in 2024 & 2025 during an interactive ceremony in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Cricket is a national passion in Pakistan, and were delighted to bring the ICC tournaments digitally to fans across the country, says Aamer Ejaz, Chief Digital Officer at Jazz. Our ambition is to engage with our customers for the entire 1,440 minutes that make up each day. Tamasha, Pakistan's most user-friendly streaming platform which delivers exceptional content is a key part of that strategy. Well ensure Pakistani fans dont miss a single moment of crickets biggest events.
This landmark deal builds on Tamashas previous success in reaching and engaging cricket fans. During the 2023 ICC Mens Cricket World Cup, the platform served over 21 million monthly active users, reaching the top spot on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. It also saw a surge in user engagement, peaking at 8.5 million daily active users during the tournament. Tamasha was the second most searched word in tech category in Pakistan as per Google's 2023 Year in Search report.
Fueled by this reach and engagement, leading brands in Pakistan are increasingly partnering with Tamasha for their advertising strategy. Tamasha has attracted over 50 international and local advertisers over the past year, positioning it as a top choice for brand partnerships in the country's local OTT space.
