Wisden Cricket Monthly  |  February 2023
In the latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out January 19, John Stern examines how Ben Stokes’ bold and unconventional leadership sparked England's outstanding Test series win in Pakistan and considers where it sits in their all-time list of overseas victories.
