Nominations across the ten shortlists announced feature some of the great sportspeople in the world across a range of different sports from cricket to boxing, to Formula One. The awards are a major annual promotion for sports writing and publishing and highlight the most outstanding sports books of the previous calendar year to showcase their merits and enhance their reputation and profile.

Shortlisted in the Autobiography of the Year category is Broadly Speaking, on Stuart Broad’s life and career following his retirement from cricket at the end of the 2023 Ashes series. Speaking on being shortlisted for the award, Broad said: “It’s a real honour for my book to be shortlisted for Best Autobiography at the Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards 2024. Last year was one of the most fun and entertaining summers of my career, so I’m glad that the book could capture some of that magic as well as the other moments of my career. I’ve been blown away by the response to my story, so to be nominated for this award is great.”

Broad’s autobiography is also shortlisted in the Cricket Book of the Year category, alongside The Tourist, by Phil Tufnell, and My Legacy – My Autobiography, by Nick Compton, among more.

The awards will be judged by an outstanding academy, including The Cricket Society, and a public vote is now open in two categories: The Charles Tyrwhitt Autobiography of the year and Sports Entertainment Book of the Year. You can vote in these categories here.

The winners of the awards will be presented at a star-studded ceremony hosted by Mark Pougatch at The Oval, on June 6.
