There's more cricket happening around the world today than ever before. Gone are the days of "off-season" when players used to spend quality time with family as they're now made to tour abroad if weather back home isn't ideal. Cricket in year 2012 aka cricket schedule 2012 is packed with a match almost everday. here's a time table..
4th edition of Twenty20 world cup, to be played in Sri Lanka, is the one to watch out for but there are some very high voltage test series in 2012 like India v Australia and then India v Pakistan. England return to India for revenge series but new world no.1 test team will have their task cut out on South African tour in August this year. Aussies travel to England but not for Ashes but 5 ODI Natwest series besides touring West Indies and negotiating South Africa and Sri Lanka at home.
Sri Lankans have lined up as many as 9 cricket series in 2012 while Pakistan will continue to host their home games away from home. South Africa exchange punches with New Zealand at home and away but their tour of England will be the one all fans around the world will glare at.
India will be playing no less than 17 tests and 25 odd ODIs in 2012 besides IPL.
