Time zones in winter
England’s winter tours bring early alarms. Tests in Australia start overnight UK time, India in the early morning, and the Caribbean in the afternoon. The kick-off converter handles football; for cricket, use the start time in the host country and subtract or add the gap.
Women’s cricket
Sky shows England women’s home internationals, and the BBC shows women’s games in The Hundred alongside the men’s, often as the first half of a double-header.
