The Shorter Wisden 2026

The most famous sports book in the world, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack has been published every year since 1864. The selected writings from the 163rd edition contained in this eBook offer trenchant opinion, compelling features and an authoritative voice on the worldwide game.
The Shorter Wisden is a distillation of what's best in its bigger brother - and the 2026 edition of Wisden is crammed, as ever, with the best writing in the game. Wisden's digital version includes the influential Notes by the Editor, and all the front-of-book articles. In essence, The Shorter Wisden is a glass of the finest champagne rather than the whole bottle.
In an age of snap judgments, Wisden's authority and integrity are more important than ever. Yet again this year's edition is truly a "must-have" for every cricket fan.
