Wisden

2024

The 161st edition of the most famous sports book in the world - published every year since 1864 - contains some of the world's finest sports writing. Gideon Haigh reflects on the 2023 Ashes series, and Jonathan Liew pays tribute to the player pictured on the cover, Stuart Broad, following his retirement. Mike Brearley gives his verdict on Ben Stokes - one of England's great captains on another. Wisden also considers the spirit of cricket, looks back on 100 Tests for England's women, and shines a light on how politicians have taken over Indian cricket. As usual, Wisden includes the eagerly awaited Notes by the Editor, the Cricketers of the Year awards, and the obituaries. And, as ever, there are reports and scorecards for every Test, together with forthright opinion, compelling features and comprehensive records.
