England v South Africa on TV 2025: ODI series schedule, channel and live stream

As a dedicated movie buff, I’d say, “I can sense that South Africa is gearing up to make a formidable challenge against us, the hosts, in our upcoming matches. With the 2027 Home ODI World Cup in sight for them at home, they’ve just come off a triumphant series win in Australia. It feels like we’re about to face a tough competitor on the big screen.

Despite a stable English batting order, there’s going to be a lot of curiosity surrounding their bowling unit as we approach the Ashes series in Australia this winter.

Mark Wood is currently not a part of the squad due to his ongoing recovery, but in his place, 22-year-old Sonny Baker has been chosen for the ODI pace attack alongside Jofra Archer, Brydon Carse, Saqib Mahmood, and Jamie Overton. Meanwhile, Rehan Ahmed, a leg-spinning all-rounder, earns his spot due to his outstanding domestic performances.
