Wisden Cricket Monthly | Issue 88
We focus our attention on England’s hugely anticipated five-Test contest against India in the new issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out June 12, as a new-look side under Shubman Gill look to claim a first series win on English soil since 2007.
Wisden India editor Aadya Sharma introduces our preview by examining how the visitors are shaping up before speaking to Nitish Kumar Reddy, an all-action all-rounder who made a splash on his maiden Test tour. As England consider how to tackle Jasprit Bumrah, Ben Gardner explores what it's like to face the world’s premier fast bowler, and Phil Walker considers what’s at stake for Ben Stokes’ England before taking us back to 1990 and the summer of Gooch and Sachin.
Elsewhere in the magazine, Katya Witney investigates the human impact of the ECB’s controversial ban on trans women from recreational cricket, Dom Sibley opens up about the highs and lows of his England career, Rob Smyth unravels the mystery of the Trinidadian quick who looked destined for greatness before fading from view, and we speak to James Taylor about the traumatic end to his playing career and his new life as a coach at Leicestershire.
In County Files Sam Dalling speaks to Somerset’s James Rew about an eventful few weeks which included his first Test call-up, Sean Williams describes a landmark month for Zimbabwean cricket in ’The Diary’, Lawrence Booth bids farewell to Virat Kohli, and Andrew Miller considers whether the punishment fits the crime when it comes to drugs in cricket following Kagiso Rabada’s one-month ban.
