Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 2025
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, in this edition: Gideon Haigh reflects on the latest Australia v India series, Scyld Berry pays tribute to James Anderson, following his retirement, and Derek Underwood and Graham Thorpe are remembered by Mike Brearley and Alec Stewart – their former Test captains and friends. Wisden also considers cricket’s deepening reliance on artificial intelligence, and whether the game can ever thrive in the USA.
As usual, Wisden includes the thought-provoking Notes by the Editor, the Cricketers of the Year awards, and the authoritative obituaries. There are reports and scorecards for every Test, together with forthright opinion, compelling features and comprehensive records.

It's the OG for cricket lovers.

Unless something shocking happens one year and they decide to completely restructure this series, reviewing Wisden probably doesn’t make sense. It’s Wisden, you know what you’re getting. It has the same structure every year.
This book is no different to that standard formula. If you like that, or have had Wisdens before, and liked them, or collect them, or something like that, you'll like this book. It's what you're used to. If you want to get into a certain type of cricket watching and writing, this is probably going to be a good place to start.
