Wisden Cricket Monthly | Issue 76
In the new issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out March 28, Phil Walker delves into the major talking points from England’s Test series defeat in India, highlighting the emergence of a group of young spinners who showed glimpses of a positive and progressive future, and not just with the ball.
Following encouraging performances from Shoaib Bashir and Rehan Ahmed, two British South Asians just setting out on their careers, Moeen Ali tells us: “It’s not about where you’re from, what you do, or what colour you are. If you’re good enough you’ll play. This is a message for the Asian community, don’t get disheartened if you don’t get picked or get released."
Elsewhere, we preview the 2024 County Championship season by giving the lowdown on all 18 counties and picking an XI of breakout stars who will have you on the edge of your seat this summer. We have a candid interview with Shan Masood, skipper of both Yorkshire and Pakistan, on juggling the toughest jobs in the game, and columnist Lawrence Booth writes that it’s hard to see anyone denying savvy Surrey a third consecutive title.
We also hear from former West Indies skipper Jimmy Adams on the defining moments of his career, including a famous Test win over South Africa inspired by a little skulduggery from Lara, the brilliant Rob Smyth digs through CricViz’s archive to compare and contrast the three most dominant Test batters of the 1990s, and, ahead of its 17th edition, Wisden India editor Aadya Sharma analyses the evolution of the IPL.
If that’s not enough, John Stern picks out Test cricket’s all-time greatest upsets, England stars Maia Bouchier and Lauren Filer share the tricks of their trade, returning columnist Mark Ramprakash gives his insight into what makes James Anderson tick, and Stephen Chalke delivers a touching tribute to the late Mike Procter.
