Get ready for a dream year of cricket on Sky Sports in 2017!
Our very own double act of Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton are here to whet the appetite for next year's action.
Unlike a famous comedy duo of years past, Morecambe and Wise, Nasser and Athers can't bring themselves to share the same bed, though they do share reading material.
Click on the video above to see the pair get ready for dream year of cricket, plus Athers have a read of Nasser's autobiography and specifically his 'No 3' reminder to the England selectors.
The cricketing calendar for 2017 includes a return to India for the ODI and T20I series, a trip to the Caribbean, plus the West Indies and South Africa tour these shores, seeing Nasser reunited with his great mate, AB de Villiers.
There's also home tournaments for England's men and women in the Champions Trophy and Women's World Cup to look forward to, plus another cracking season of county cricket.
England's focus will be firmly on white-ball cricket from the off as they take on India in three ODIs and as many T20 internationals before heading to the Caribbean for a three-match ODI series against West Indies.
Three home ODIs against South Africa in May are the prelude to the mouth-watering 2017 ICC Champions Trophy when hosts England will aim to go one better than in 2013 when they lost the final to India at Edgbaston by five runs.
It all begins on 1st June when England take on Bangladesh in Group A, which also includes Australia and New Zealand, with the final on 18th June.
South Africa's tour continues on 21st June with three T20s and four Tests before England's extended, action-packed season powers on with three Tests, five ODIs and one T20 against West Indies from 17th August to 29th September.
It's a huge year for England's Women too as they go for glory on home turf in the ICC Women's World Cup in late June.
Sky Sports will also show the Kia Women's Super League as well as games from a busy domestic programme, featuring the Royal London One-Day Cup and the NatWest T20 Blast.
Throw in the Indian Premier League, as well as plenty more action from India, West Indies, South Africa and New Zealand and a gargantuan year is guaranteed!
