Wisden Cricket Monthly  |  August 2018
This month's cover story is the 50 best young men's cricketers in world (we'll be featuring the best young women's players next month).

A selection of the best writers in the business explain what makes these young guns so special.
Also this month, Jonathan Liew imagines the impact that a World Cup win on home soil could have next year, comparing it to the Three Lions ' nearly-but-not-quite campaign in Russia, while in celebration and commemoration
of England's 1000th Test match, Simon Wilde picks out the most influential figures in the team's history.
Elsewhere, Virat Kohli explains why a Sachin masterclass changed his life, Kumar Sangakkara reflects on the unique experience of facing Shoaib, Elizabeth Ammon calls for an overhaul of the county transfer system, Ian Bell opens up on the impact of being dropped by England and Rich Evans examines the negative impact of a lack of friendlies in club cricket.
