The new agreement kicks in from 2014 when Sky's current deal with the England & Wales Cricket Board expires.
Sky Sports has been awarded exclusive live coverage of:
> TEST MATCHES: all of England's Test matches played at home, including series against India (2014), Australia (2015), Pakistan (2016) and South Africa (2017).
> INTERNATIONALS: all one-day Internationals and T20 matches, plus selected fixtures including England Lions and women's matches.
> COUNTY MATCHES: at least 60 days of domestic cricket each summer covering each of the major competitions and including every county.
There is also an option for Sky to extend the deal for an additional two years to cover tours by India in 2018 and Australia in 2019.
Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports, said: "This is good news for cricket and good news for viewers. Our viewers will enjoy a breadth of live coverage, at domestic and international level, and the ECB extends a partnership that has proved good for the game.
