Wisden Cricket Monthly | March 2023
In the latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out February 23, Rob Key sits down with Mark Butcher, his former teammate and colleague, to reflect on a mind-boggling first 10 months in his role as managing director of England men’s cricket.
In a wide-ranging interview which took place in the ECB boardroom at Lord's, Key explains why the role appealed to him and how the seeds were sown for England’s red-ball revolution. He and Butcher also discuss what might be around the corner for English cricket and the wider game.

John Stern takes us back 60 years to the transformational summer of 1963, Allan Lamb picks out the defining moments from his glittering career, Ollie Pope and Toby Radford share their batting expertise, and we celebrate the greatest County Championship team campaigns.
