There's a heap of cricket for you to enjoy over the Christmas period, but can you guess which England international is delivering the presents?

Push aside the turkey, set down the mince pie, and put the family game of Trivial Pursuit on pause this Christmas to watch our Cricket Special on Sky Sports 1.

Matt Floyd is joined by Rob Key and Mark Butcher live from 9pm on Christmas Day to preview a mouthwatering feast of cricket on Boxing Day.

The main focus will be the start of South Africa and England's four-Test series in Durban, but there is also the second Test between Australia and West Indies, and the first one-day international between New Zealand and Sri Lanka for the panel to tuck into.

Not only that, but the Big Bash continues on Boxing Day with defending champions Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat both looking for their first win.
