Cricket tours seem to be never-ending, but when it comes to major cricket events you just shouldn’t miss and we’ve got all the details for you. Mark these dates on your calendar and have fun watching or betting on the following big international matches this year.
The Hundred Series
The Hundred Series has already started on August 3, 2022, and its final is set for September 3, 2022. This is the second season of the professional 100-ball cricket tournament. Despite the challenges during the 1stseason which took place in 2021, The Hundred was still able to sell half a million tickets.
It’s most likely why it’s able to return this year. Many saw The Hundred as a positive thing that happened to women’s cricket because of a major boost in viewership.
This year, a total of 8 men’s teams and 8 women’s teams are part of the tournament and 58 matches will be played in total.

The 15th edition of the Asia Cup is also scheduled to start this month. This T20I managed by the Asian Cricket Council will run from August 27 to September 11, 2022. Originally, this was scheduled for 2020, but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it had to be postponed.
It was also scheduled to be hosted by Sri Lanka in June 2021, but it was once again postponed. However, it’s happening this year and instead of Sri Lanka, the UAE will be hosting this event.
13 matches will be played this year and here are the six teams you’ll see on the field:
- Afghanistan
- Bangladesh
- India
- Pakistan
- Sri Lanka
The matches will take place in two venues which are the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Caribbean Premier League 2022
If you love watching the Indian Premier League, then you’ll also be thrilled with the Caribbean Premier League (CBPL) which will start on August 31, 2022. The final of this T20 tournament will be on September 30, 2022.
The league will have 6 teams that will play through a group stage and knockout phase. Here are the teams you can watch play this season:

T20 World Cup 2022
Another major cricket event fans shouldn’t miss is the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. It’s the eighth edition of this T20I and like many sports tournaments, this was also impacted by the pandemic. Originally, this was supposed to happen in July 2020 in India.
However, the International Cricket Council (ICC) ended up deciding on moving the tournament this year with Australia as the host. This event will run from October 16 to September 13, 2022, with 16 teams participating in a total of 45 matches.
Here are all the teams playing this year:
Australia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, England, India, Namibia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Scotland, South Africa, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Ireland, United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, and Zimbabwe.
Big Bash 2022-2023
Right before the year ends is the start of the new season of the Big Bash League (BBL) of the KFC BBL (sponsorship reasons). This is one of the biggest Australian T20 leagues and this year, it is expected to run from December 13, 2022, to February 4, 2023.
We say it’s expected because no official schedule is announced just yet. The BBL also includes a women’s competition. It’s also something to watch on the holidays because it’s a tournament that has a Christmas Day match.
The tournament has double-round robin and knockout formats. A total of eight teams will participate and the current champions are the Perth Scorchers.
