From the World Test Championship final to the South Africa tour of West Indies, exciting international cricket action awaits fantasy cricket players in June. England, India, New Zealand, West Indies, South Africa, Sri Lanka, etc., will be in action.
Here’s a look at the international fixtures scheduled for June.
T20 Internationals
With the men’s T20 World Cup a few months away, teams will be experimenting with their squad and taking a closer look at a few players. England, who lost the T20Is 3-2 against India in March, will host Sri Lanka in a three-match series. The visitors managed just one win in their last ten T20I fixtures away from home.
South Africa will visit the Caribbean Islands after a disappointing outing against Pakistan. The tour begins with five T20Is, and the Proteas will be hoping to beat the reigning T20 World Champions on their turf. West Indies had lifted the trophy in the home series against Sri Lanka recently.
