The 79th edition of the Playfair Cricket Annual is packed with all the information you need to follow the cricket season in 2026, as well as a review of events during the previous twelve months.

Pakistan, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and India will all be touring England this coming summer, and here you'll find comprehensive Test match and limited-overs records and career records to help you follow the action.

County cricket is covered in unrivalled depth, with biographies of all players registered to the counties at the start of the season, full coverage of last summer's events and a fixture list for all major domestic matches in 2026.

There are also sections on women's cricket, the IPL and The Hundred.
