FrogBox partners with Rajasthan Royals Academy Melbourne
FrogBox has been named Official Streaming Partner of Rajasthan Royals Academy Melbourne, beginning with live coverage of a two-day match play series in Melbourne this September.
MELBOURNE, 22 September 2026 — FrogBox will partner with Rajasthan Royals Academy Melbourne to showcase its emerging cricketers, providing live streaming and digital coverage of the academy’s upcoming September match play series.
Rajasthan Royals Academy Melbourne is Melbourne’s official Rajasthan Royals Academy, connecting local cricketers with the coaching philosophy and development network of the Indian Premier League franchise.
The academy provides programs for male and female players across different ages and stages of their cricket development, with a focus on creating opportunities for players to learn, compete and progress within the game.
FrogBox CEO Rob Knee said the partnership was a natural fit for two organisations focused on improving the experience available to developing cricketers.
“Rajasthan Royals Academy Melbourne is creating opportunities for young players to develop their cricket within the ecosystem of the most recognisable brands in the global game,” Knee said. “We think those experiences deserve to be seen. Video gives players the opportunity to watch their performances, share their cricket with family and friends and capture moments that can inspire them to keep improving.”
As Official Streaming Partner, FrogBox will provide its streaming technology and event support across the series of matches, combining live video with scoring graphics, event branding and digital distribution through FrogBox Play.
Andy Crook, Director at the Rajasthan Royals Academy Melbourne spoke of the benefits that streaming selected academy matches added to the program.
“We are focused on creating high quality development experiences for young cricketers and giving them opportunities to learn, compete and showcase their game. Partnering with FrogBox allows us to extend that experience beyond the field, giving players, families and supporters the opportunity to follow matches and share in the journey. We are excited to work with FrogBox for our matches in September and explore how video can play a broader role in supporting our academy programs.”
The partnership reflects the growing role of video across community and youth cricket, providing players and supporters with digital experiences that have traditionally been associated with higher levels of the game.
FrogBox supports more than 2,000 sporting organisations and around 40,000 live streams each year. Its technology connects video with sports data, live graphics, automated highlights and digital distribution, helping sporting organisations produce and share more of their games without the traditional resources required for sports broadcasting.
Knee said greater access to video was creating more opportunities for emerging players and programs to be seen.
“There is an enormous amount of great cricket and emerging talent outside the professional game. Giving those players and programs greater visibility creates another way for people to engage with their cricket and for sporting organisations to showcase what they are building. We’re excited to support Rajasthan Royals Academy Melbourne and help bring their tournament and players to a wider audience.”
The September match play series will be the first activation under the partnership, with FrogBox and Rajasthan Royals Academy Melbourne also exploring opportunities to work together more broadly.
