Cricket internationals in the UK — quick answers
What time are Cricket internationals games in the UK?
England Tests / ODIs (day) typically start at 11:00 in the home time zone — see the table below for the UK time (GMT/BST) conversion of every regular slot.
Why do Cricket internationals times keep changing in the UK?
Daylight saving. When the clocks change in the home country or in the UK (and they rarely change on the same weekend), every start time shifts by an hour for a few weeks. The table on this page is recalculated daily, so it's always the current conversion.
How long does a cricket match last?
A T20 is about 3 hours, a one-day international about 8 hours, and a Test match is scheduled across five days with roughly six hours of play per day.
Why do Ashes Tests start in the middle of the night for England fans?
Australian Tests start 10:30am local — between midnight and 5am UK time depending on the venue and daylight saving. Day-night (pink ball) Tests shift a few hours friendlier.
