England have this year hosted and won the 2019 World Cup, but they followed that up with a disappointing drawn Ashes series in England which saw Australia retain the coveted Ashes urn before losing their two-Test series in New Zealand 1-0.

They’ll now head to South Africa to continue the Southern Hemisphere’s summer of cricket, beginning with four Tests against the Kiwis before playing some white ball cricket.

England v South Africa 2020 TV Preview

England’s 2019 World Cup victory was an historic event for the cricket-loving nation. Not only was it their first ever tournament win, but it came in front of a jubilant home crowd, making the occasion that much more special. It didn’t come without controversy, however, with the final against being decided on a bizarre boundary count-back after the scores were tied after 50 overs and a Super Over. Many felt like it was a fairly arbitrary way to decide the tournament, not least New Zealand, who managed to get revenge on the Poms with a 1-0 Test series win on their own soil through November and December.

Now, England will head to South Africa for a much longer series, set to last from December all the way through to mid-February. South Africa have talent all over their best XI and are particularly difficult to beat on home soil, but this is a clash between two heavyweights in the cricketing world and they will be tough to separate. Four Test matches will kick off the series before three ODI’s and three T20I’s round it out in what will be a challenging Tour for the visitors.

England Tour of Sri Lanka

After their extended Tour of South Africa comes to a close England will head to Sri Lanka for a much shorter trip. They’ll play just two Tests against Sri Lanka, and will be expecting to do things slightly easier against the sixth ranked side in the world. Sri Lanka don’t have near the level of talent that England possesses, but cricket on the sub-continent is a sport of its own and the home side will be far more accustomed to the conditions this series will dish up. England should still get the series win, but don’t surprise to see Sri Lanka cause them some problems.
