In September, New Zealand was the first team to cancel its series against Pakistan. Both the teams were scheduled to play three ODIs and five T20Is during that tour which was called off by the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) due to security concerns. England’s men and women team were also scheduled to travel to Pakistan in October to play two T20Is against the respective teams. However, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) also canceled this tour, citing a security threat.

On December 20, NZC announced that the Blackcaps would travel to Pakistan in the next season twice to complete the initial tour as well as two Test matches. The decision was taken after the cricket boards of both the teams had a meeting in Dubai last month. NZC Chief Executive David White mentioned that the tour would strengthen the bond between the two cricket boards.

The much-awaited Test series between India and South Africa is set to commence on the Boxing Day (December 26) at the Supersport Park in Centurion. The tour was under threat after the emergence of Omicron variant of COVID-19. But the two boards, BCCI and Cricket South Africa (CSA), worked out a revised schedule and went ahead with only Test and ODI series for now while the four T20Is are set to be played at a later date.

Pat Cummins and fast bowler Josh Hazlewood will rejoin the Australian Test squad for the remaining three matches of the Ashes series. Both these players had missed the 2nd Test.

While Cummins had missed out after coming into contact with a Covid-19 positive person ahead of the Test match, Hazlewood was ruled out due to a hamstring injury. So, Australia have named an unchanged squad for the rest of The Ashes series.
