In the latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out September 15, we explore our relationship with the game today, and what it could look like tomorrow. With cricket at a crossroads, Michael Holding, Isa Guha, Mark Ramprakash, Glenn Turner and David Lloyd are among the 11 voices who share their hopes and concerns for its future, offering a personal perspective on the rapidly changing landscape. Elsewhere, Ed Smith reflects on his time as national selector in conversation with Matt Thacker, Taha Hashim goes inside the South Asian Cricket Academy and John Sterns revisits England’s last tour of Pakistan in 2005, when the glow of Ashes victory quickly disappeared. Andrew Miller gives his appraisal of The Hundred, Raf Nicholson considers who should replace Lisa Keightley as England Women head coach, Mark Ramprakash attempts to unravel the high-performance review, Lawrence Booth picks out the defining moments from a spectacular summer of Test cricket, and Phil Walker assesses the appointment of Richard Thompson as ECB chair. We also have 15 pages of dedicated county coverage, including interviews with Darren Stevens, Ali Orr and Rehan Ahmed, plus Amer Malik speaks to three Pakistani stars about their summer on the English domestic circuit.
