The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced the fixtures of their men’s team for next summer. Team India, which is currently playing a five-Test series against the hosts, will return to England to play six white-ball matches in July 2022.
The season will bowl out with England locking horns with World Test Champions – New Zealand – in a three-match Test series. After New Zealand Tests and limited-overs series against India, the Three Lions will take on South Africa in a full-fledged series comprising three Tests and as many ODIs & T20Is.
While revealing the fixtures, the ECB chief executive officer Tom Harrison said: “It has been a scintillating summer of cricket and so good to see crowds backpacking out venues later this summer.
“For next summer, I am pleased to be able to confirm three high-quality men’s international touring teams for 2022, starting with a three-Test LV= Insurance Series against World Test Champions New Zealand.
“We also look forward to India returning for two white-ball series before we host South Africa for what promises to be hard-fought series across three formats, including three LV= Insurance Test Matches.”
The ECB also confirmed that the final match of Vitality T20 Blast will be played at the Edgbaston Stadium on Saturday, July 16.
