ENGLAND have a packed schedule of Test cricket, ODI and T20 action in 2022 and here is who they are set to face.
Star all-rounder Ben Stokes replaced Joe Root as captain of the Test side and former New Zealand skipper Brendon McCullum was appointed as head coach earlier this year.
Together they got off to a flying start with a dramatic series win against New Zealand and a victory over India to square last year's delayed series.
Up next is South Africa who will provide another stern test as England look to continue their resurgence in the Test arena.
