If you love watching England on the pitch, you’re in the right place. Here’s a quick rundown of the most important stories, recent scores and the fixtures you can’t miss. No fluff, just the info you need to stay up to date.
In the last Test series, England bounced back with a 2-1 win against Australia, thanks to a gritty performance from the bowlers and a solid century from Ben Stokes. The win lifted morale ahead of the upcoming ODI summer, and fans are already buzzing about the new duo of Alex Hodge and Tom Moore who showed promise with the ball.
Joe Root continues to anchor the batting line‑up, but the real talk of the town is the rising star, Ollie Robinson. He’s been smashing sixes in the County Championship and the selectors are keen to give him a chance in the One‑Day Internationals. On the bowling side, Rehan Khan’s swing in English conditions makes him a nightmare for opposition batsmen, especially when the weather brings a bit of moisture.
Don’t forget the wicket‑keeper, Jos Buttler. He’s not only quick behind the stumps but also adds firepower in the middle order. His aggressive style often shifts momentum, which is exactly what England needs in tight games.
The next big event is the three‑match ODI series against South Africa, kicking off in early June at Lord’s. Tickets are selling fast, and the games will be streamed live on major platforms like Sky Sports and the BBC’s cricket app. If you prefer radio, BBC Radio 5 Live will have commentary for every match.
After the ODIs, England heads into the T20 World Cup qualifiers. The squad will likely include a mix of seasoned players and newcomers, giving fans a chance to see fresh talent under pressure. Keep an eye on the official England Cricket website for squad announcements and match times.
For those who love stats, the England Cricket Board updates player averages and strike rates after every game. You can pull the data into your own spreadsheets or use the free mobile app to get push notifications when a batsman hits a fifty or a bowler takes a five‑for.
What about the women's side? England Women are gearing up for a home series against India in July. The matches will be played at The Oval and there’s a growing fan base watching every spin and swing. Tickets are cheaper than the men’s games, and it’s a great way to support women’s cricket.
