England add SA and NZ tours to packed 2023 schedule: Report

England will tour South Africa in January 2023 for an ODI series and New Zealand in February of the year for two Tests

England is set to tour South Africa for a three-match ODI series in January 2023 which will followed by a two-Test series against New Zealand in February, according to a report by ESPNCricinfo.

With the T20 World Cup pushed back from February-March 2020 to October-November 2021 due to the pandemic, England and Wales Board had to postpone their ODI series against South African from December 2020 to January 2023. The New Zealand tour following it will not be part of the World Test Championship cycle much like the two-match series the Kiwis played in England just before the inaugural WTC final.

Their tour of Bangladesh has also been pushed back to March 2023 which makes it five different tours for the ODI world champions starting with the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. The Three Lions will play three ODIs against Australia after the World Cup and then the delayed tour of Pakistan for three Tests before moving to South Africa, New Zealand and Bangladesh.
