The 2022 international cricket season was from May 2022 to September 2022. 15 Tests, 71 One Day Internationals (ODIs), and 63 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) matches, including the 2022 Asia Cup, were played in this season. In women's international cricket, one women's Test match, 18 Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs) and 144 Women's Twenty20 Internationals (WT20Is) were played in this season. Included among the T20I/WT20I matches were a number of series involving associate nations.
In May 2022, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed that the third cycle of the ICC Women's Championship would start during this season, with the Pakistan women's team hosting Sri Lanka in June 2022. At the same time, the ICC also awarded WODI status to the Netherlands, Papua New Guinea, Scotland, Thailand and the United States. Also in women's international cricket, a tournament was held as part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, in Birmingham, England, in July and August 2022.
In September 2021, the fifth Test match between England and India was cancelled a few hours before the scheduled start, due to COVID-19 cases in the Indian camp. The match was rescheduled, and took place in July 2022, ahead of India's white-ball tour of England. In July 2022, Cambodia, the Ivory Coast and Uzbekistan were all awarded Associate Membership of the ICC.
