Johannesburg: England's tour of South Africa in 2015/16 will span just over two months, the England and Wales Cricket Board confirmed Monday as they released the fixture schedule.
All three formats of the international game will be on show during a December-February trip featuring four Tests, five one-day internationals and two Twenty20 matches.
For what is likely to be a select group involved from England's December 11 arrival to the final Twenty20 on February 21, they will have been on tour for 72 days.
Generally speaking, England tours no longer span the Christmas holiday period but exceptions are made for Australia and South Africa because of the tradition of playing a Test match on Boxing Day (December 26) in both those countries.
The latest South Africa schedule is no exception, with the First Test at Durban's Kingsmead ground starting on December 26.
England will have two three-day games ahead of the first Test, with the remainder of the series taking place at Newlands, Johannesburg's Wanderers ground and Centurion.
England's last tour of South Africa, in 2009/10, saw the Test series shared 1-1 while the last Test campaign between the two countries saw the Proteas buck recent modern trends by winning away from home courtesy of a 2-0 success in a three-match contest in England in 2012.
