Upcoming Test Cricket

As per Dickinfo's Future Series link...

3 Tests - WI v Pak - Apr-May 2017

4 Tests - Eng v SAf - Jul-Aug 2017

3 Tests - Eng v WI - Aug-Sep 2017

2 Tests - SAf v BD - Sep-Oct 2017

4 Tests - SAf v Aus - Mar-Apr 2018

I guess India, Pakistan and New Zealand still have some details to sort out for the next year.

Apart from the Ashes the Eng v SA tests will be the most anticipated this year followed by the Aust v SA next year.

I think India are due in SA.

I will speak to CSA and tell them to cancel the Boxing Day test.

See to it

Geez, SEVEN ODIs for South Africa v India?? I'd much rather they scrapped four of them and played an extra test!

Aye, I can "hear" Ashtray's shoulders slumping now.

WTF are Aus doing between now and November apart from IPL? A spell in county cricket wouldn't hurt most of the current and potential test side.

Looking very likely for the Gabba day-nighter this year. Anticipation already strong. Tickets for the first two days may be enough ...

Supposed to be touring Bangladesh for Tests/ODIs in August, but nothing has been agreed to. (refer article)

There's talk of it being rescheduled as JAMODIs prior to us going to India for more JAMODIs before the Ashes.

3 Tests - WI v SL - June 2018
5 Tests - Eng v India - Aug-Sep 2018

No ICC confirmation of fixtures between Aus and BD/Zim. The CA site has reference to these series but no dates.

The CA website is next to useless

The 'future tours' section of the ICC website had Australia playing Bangladesh at home in August, when I last looked. No venues announced though. There was also reference to an away series v Pakistan at around the same time.

I don't know what we're doing; it seems the ICC and CA don't either.

Yes, yes it is. A bit like its owners.

The article in the Age about Marsh Minor's ankle op mentions the Tests against the Stannies in August. No specific dates involved.

Cheers h.

India should be miles in front in the ICC Test Championship by early March, 2020.

England have WI and Pak for the home summer mid-2020. A chance for them to snaffle some Championship points.

Jaysus, SAF v England is 4 tests in 5 weeks. Good luck Jofra.

How many lefties in the SAf top 6 for Sturat to torment?
