Wisden Cricket Monthly Magazine April 2022 Back Issue

The latest issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out March 24, is a tribute to the late, great Shane Warne.

Teammates and opponents give their perspective on what it was like to play with and against Warne, while a selection of writers and broadcasters – including Alison Mitchell, David Lloyd, Sam Perry, Adam Collins, Daniel Norcross and Melinda Farrell – pick out their favourite moment from the leg-spinner’s formidable back catalogue. And after a dark month for Australian cricket, Lawrence Booth reflects on the careers of both Warne and Rod Marsh, two titans of the game who refused to compromise.

This is also our new season special, as we look forward to the 2022 domestic campaign with profiles of the 18 counties, predicting how each will fare this summer, as well as in-depth features on Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Durham.

We have three exclusive interviews with England fast bowlers past and present: Saqib Mahmood, Lancashire’s recent Test debutant, talks to Cameron Ponsonby about how he reached this point, Steven Finn reflects on the mistakes he made in his own international career, and Liam Plunkett tells us he’s loving his new life in the States.

Elsewhere, Andrew Miller considers the conundrum facing Zak Crawley, Gary Kirsten picks out the defining moments from his career as a player and coach, Suresh Menon asks what comes next for Virat Kohli, and James Wallace imagines a world in which John Emburey was the saviour of English cricket.
