The most famous sports book in the world, Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack has been published every year since 1864. Home to some of the finest sports writing of the year – from the likes of Lawrence Booth, Gideon Haigh, Rob Smyth, Patrick Collins, Simon Wilde, Osman Samiuddin, Tony Cozier, Benj Moorehead, Raf Nicholson and Dileep Premachandran – it includes the eagerly awaited Notes by the Editor, the Cricketers of the Year awards, and the famous obituaries. As always, it contains coverage of every first-class game in every cricket nation, and reports and scorecards for all Tests and ODIs, together with trenchant opinion, compelling features and comprehensive records.

A perennial bestseller in the UK, yet again this year’s edition – the 153rd, Wisden 2016 – is truly a “must-have” for every cricket fan.

""There can't really be any doubt about the cricket book of the year, any year: it's obviously Wisden"" Andrew Baker in the Daily Telegraph
