The South African cricket team toured England in 2012 to play three Test matches, five One Day Internationals and three Twenty20 International matches.[1] The number of Test matches between the two nations had to be reduced to avoid clashes with the Olympic Games.[2]

Similarly to South Africa's previous tour of England in 2008, South Africa won the series, and the England captain subsequently resigned (in 2008, Michael Vaughan resigned from the captaincy, and subsequently was never picked to play again; in 2012, Andrew Strauss resigned both the captaincy and from all forms of cricket).
