Proteas to tour England in 2022─── MORGAN PIEK 16:03 Wed, 08 Sep 2021
Cricket South Africa has confirmed that the Proteas men’s team will be touring England next year where they will be competing in all three formats of international cricket.
England and the Proteas will compete in three One-Day Internationals, three T20 Internationals and a three-Test series.
The first ODI will be played on 19 July at the Riverside, with the other two games at Old Trafford and at Headingly.
The 1st T20I will be played in Bristol, with Sophia Gardens and the Ageas Bowl as the other two venues.
The 1st Test will be played at Lords from 17-21 August, with the second at Edgbaston from the 25th to 29th and the 3rd at the Oval from 8 to 12 September.
Director of Cricket, Graeme Smith, said the prospects of playing in front of crowds again is exciting.
“It’s exciting to have finalised the England tour.
“Competitive cricket for our national teams is vital for their growth and progress and a tour of England is one of the bigger challenges that our players will face, particularly with their fully Covid-19 vaccinated crowds backing the home team.
“We have a bumper season ahead for the men’s team that we are thrilled to be announcing soon, with some really exciting match ups, along with another ICC T20 World Cup in the mix.
“Game time is going to be crucial for the ultimate success of this team as they also begin a new season of the ICC World Test Championship and continue the road to the 2023 ICC World Cup through the ICC Men’s World Cup Super League.”
