England games coming up in 2022.
England v India (home)
July
India will return to complete their 2021 Test series, which was postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak in the India camp. They are also scheduled to play three ODIs and as many T20Is.
England v South Africa (home)
July-September
The home season would end with a tour from South Africa. They are all set to play a three match ODI, T20I and Test series against England.
Pakistan v England (away)
September-October
England will tour Pakistan for the first time in 17 years to play a seven-match T20I series. The original series was a five-game contest but two extra games have been added to compensate for the cancelled England tour of Pakistan in 2021.
T20 World Cup 2022
October-November 2022
The 2022 T20 World Cup will be held in Australia, the second time the T20 global tournament will be held in back to back years. England made it to the semi-finals before being undone by Jimmy Neesham’s brilliance.
Pakistan v England (away)
November-December 2022
Towards the end of the year, England are all set to tour Pakistan to play a three-Test series, their first in Pakistan since 2005. The last time they played Pakistan away from home was in UAE in 2015, where they lost the series 0-2.

England v NZ at the Clean Slate Headingley, Leeds for the 3rd and final test, England lead by 2-0.
New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat
NZ 225-5 (90 overs), Mitchell 78no, Blundell 45no, Broad 2-45, Leach 2-75.
Was looking good at 123-5 but a hundred plus partnership has put NZ in a strong position.

I would imagine that if you had paid your entry fee for today and seen the England crash you would be asking yourself . why? at 55-6ir was a  disaster, then Johnny and Jamie just took the NZ bowlers to the cleaners, partnership of 209 at close.... cricket!!! |

I've been banging on about the 2nd coming of Bairstow as a Test batsman for years but even I'd given up on the idea. Seems the new regime has freed him up. Desperate for Overton to complete a 100 so that I can say that I've bowled at a Test Match centurion (and he hit me into the sea 3 times!).

NZ 329 all out, Mitchell 109, Blundell 55, Leach 5-100, Broad 3-62.
England 264-6, Bairstow 130no, J.Overton 89no, Boult 3-73.
England trail New Zealand by 65 runs with 4 wickets remaining.
Test centuries scored at a rate better than a run a ball are supposed to be as rare as British winners at Wimbledon. Bairstow has two in 10 days.
The Yorkshireman is in the Test form of his life with this hundred his fourth in eighth Tests. He also become only the second Englishman after Ian Botham to score two Test centuries at better than a run per ball.
Then debutant Jamie Overton joined in, the Surrey fast bowler clubbing Neil Wagner into the leg side as he contributed 89 to an unbroken stand of 209 in only 37 overs.

And that doesn`t happen very often at Edgbaston. |

4th Day - NZ 326 all out, Mitchell 56, Blundell 88 not out, Leach 5-66 (10-166 match figures).
England 183-2, Pope 81no, Root 55no, Crawley 25.
Well what a good 4th day that was, England need only 113 more to win.
Should be a breeze and expect both not out batsmen to get their centuries.

Is this the series that Ollie Pope finally came of age? The potential has always been there but he has lacked consistency.

Perhaps, and also the series that Jack Leach nails the myth that he’s not a test match bowler. In a match when the run rate was pretty high he’s been both effective as a wicket taker and his economy rate has been excellent. Poor Joe Root yesterday, had he put on his catching hands Jack L would have had 6/7/8 wickets. He was also very unlucky yesterday. Series change of course as do opponents but it’s been a remarkable turnaround for Leach, having a captain who has confidence to bowl him and set the fields that are attacking. |

What you say about Leach is quite correct. I was one of those who didn't fancy him, but yesterday he was making some balls really turn and spit. As we all know, confidence is a massive thing in sport and it does appear as though Stokes has shown that he has confidence in Leach, whereas Root probably didn't. 10 wickets in any Test match is not to be sniffed at. |

I’m obviously biased because of Somerset but watching loads of CC cricket over the last 10 years (and before) I’ve not seen a better spinner. Simon Harmer of Essex has pushed him close over that time but Jack L has seen off Crane, Dom Bess and others. Livingstone at Lancs was in contention but he’s gone down the batsman in white cricket route. Matt Parkinson is also a very good spinner who I’ve seen on several occasion. He causes players problems and when he bowls you can see the respect they give him. But Jack L has been incredibly consistent over that time. It could all change again but he’s a fairly hard working level headed player who keeps his head down and bowls. I think he deserves his time in the sun. |

Well done to England winning the series 3-0, more to look forward to in July, August and September with various matches v India and South Africa.
Big ups in this test for Bairstow, Root, Overton, Broad and Leach.

Put a blond wig on him, and a bottle of diuretics in his pocket, and it could have been Shane Warne out there. |

A whirlwind of a day to say the least!! Declaring on 325 for 9 after being out into bat, England reduced NZ to 37 for 3 at the close, eager to try the pink ball in late evening conditions ,it seems to have worked for the English bowlers, bas ball in the antipodean climate has arrived!!
