Cricket in 2022: Packed calendar promises drama
The HinduCricket’s international schedule for 2022, for men and women, includes two World Cups and the promise of a more widespread return to normal service in the wake of the COVID19 outbreak. India men and women will look to add elusive silverwares to their respective trophy cabinets — the men at the T20 World Cup in Australia and the women at the 50-over World Cup in New Zealand. Rohit Sharma took over the T20 captaincy from Virat Kohli after India’s exit in the group stage of the last T20 World Cup, with the next edition coming up in less than a year. Meanwhile, India will also host the West Indies, Sri Lanka and South Africa as part of the 202122 home season, for a total of two Tests, three ODIs and 11 T20Is till June 2022. England men’s fixture list for 2022 includes three Tests against New Zealand in June, followed by ODI and T20I series against India and a full South Africa tour, which concludes in midSeptember.
