Wisden Cricket Monthly | November 2019
England have embraced the future by picking a Test squad to tour New Zealand featuring seven players aged 24 or under. Two of those, the uncapped Lancashire duo of Saqib Mahmood and Matt Parkinson, take the cover of the latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly.
In a joint interview on their home patch, Mahmood and Parkinson talk to Phil Walker about their rise through the ranks at Old Trafford, reveal each other’s strengths (and weaknesses) and look forward to their first steps as international cricketers.
We also have an interview with Warwickshire's Dom Sibley – the standout batsman from the 2019 Championship campaign, who is set to open with Rory Burns in New Zealand – and profiles of Surrey run-machine Ollie Pope and Kent tyro Zak Crawley.
Elsewhere, Daniel Norcross of Test Match Special introduces our review of an unforgettable season, which also features the story of Essex’s second Championship win in three seasons, CricViz’s Championship XI, and revealing insight into the life of a women’s county cricketer.
There are also exclusive interviews with Ashley Giles, Morné Morkel and Charlotte Edwards, while columnist Jonathan Liew throws us forward to 2029 and gives a glimpse of English cricket's dystopian future.
