• England due to play in South Africa in January 2027

• ODI and T20 dates clash with SA20 tournament

England’s two white-ball series in South Africa next year are currently in doubt amid the latest scheduling clash that pits franchise cricket against the international game.

As it stands, England’s men are due to play three Tests, three one-day internationals and three Twenty20s in South Africa next winter. The white-ball leg of this rare “full tour” to the country represents an important scouting mission for the World Cup that South Africa are co-hosting in late 2027.
