The English Test side is currently on tour to Australia for the Ashes 2021-22. First three matches of the prestigious competition were completed last year, where Australia managed to register victories in all three of them. The remaining two fixtures of the ongoing Ashes will be played from January 5 to 9 and January 14 to 18.
After the Ashes, England’s white-ball captain Eoin Morgan will lead the side in a five-match T20I series against West Indies in late January. After the T20Is, both sides will battle it out in the Test series, starting mid-March.
Post the West Indies tour, England will host New Zealand for the Test series, followed by the Netherlands for the ODI leg before welcoming India for the multi-format series, including the fifth Test, which was earlier postponed in 2021 due to COVID-19.
England will finish their home summer with a multi-format series against South Africa featuring three ODIs and as many T20Is and Test matches.
England will further tour Pakistan from September to December 2022. They will play as many as seven T20Is from late September before returning to play three Tests after the T20 World Cup in Australia, between October 16 and November 13. The exact dates and venues of England versus Pakistan have not yet been announced.
