The beauty of cricket is that there's barely a minute of the day that goes by without an over being bowled somewhere in the world.
English fans will want to keep a keen eye on how the Test series between South Africa and Australia plays out this week – with Joe Root's side set to play both teams over the next 12 months – but there is white-ball action for our attention as well.
Harry Brook's side begin their first ODI Tri-Series in more than a decade, which will see them take on hosts Pakistan and Sri Lanka this month.
Sky Sports boast the lion's share of cricket TV rights, while the game has leaked back onto free-to-air platforms, with The Hundred playing in front of BBC cameras over the summer months.
TNT Sports and HBO Max have also waded into broadcasting more cricket lately, with several England Test matches to be shown on the platform, while there are tests on Premier Sports as well.
Fans across the world will be desperate to soak up as much global action as possible before it heads to the Southern Hemisphere, whatever the format, while Test cricket fans will be satisfied to see five-day, full-fat action still on their screens.
Radio Times brings you a round-up of live cricket on TV today and coming up.
