As India and England currently battle out an exciting Test series, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced that they will be hosting India next year also for limited-overs matches. The ECB announced their 2022 home summer schedule – where they will play host to New Zealand, India, and South Africa across formats.

The 2022 international home season in England will kick off with a 3-Test series against the inaugural World Test Champions in June at Lord’s. New Zealand defeated England in a 2-Test series earlier this year, however, that series was not part of the WTC.

Then, Eoin Morgan’s side will play a total of 12 white-ball matches in July: The Three Lions take on India for 3 T20Is and as many ODIs in the first half of July, before they meet South Africa for a 3-ODI and 3-T20I series in the second half of the month.

The season concludes with a 3-Test series against the Proteas in August and September.

Both the Test series, against New Zealand and South Africa, will be vital for Joe Root and his team as both series are part of the WTC 2021-23, carrying crucial points.

The ECB also confirmed that the T20 Blast Finals Day will be staged at Edgbaston on July 16.

ECB Chief Executive Officer, Tom Harrison, said: “It has been a scintillating summer of cricket and so good to see crowds back packing 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.”
