*Standard hardback edition*

The most famous sports book in the world, the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, has been published annually since 1864. It features some of the best sports writing of the year, including this edition: Gideon Haigh reflects on the Australia-India series, Scyld Berry pays tribute to James Anderson after his retirement, while Derek Underwood and Graham Thorpe are remembered by Mike Brearley and Alec Stewart – former team captains and friends. Wisden also examines the growing reliance of cricket on artificial intelligence and whether the sport can ever thrive in the USA.

As usual, Wisden includes the provocative Publisher’s Notes, the Cricketers of the Year awards, and authentic obituaries. There are reports and scoreboards for every Test, along with open views, exciting articles, and extensive archives.

“There can be no doubt about this being the sports book of the year, any year: it is obviously Wisden.” Andrew Baker, The Daily Telegraph
