Cricket’s past is steeped in a tradition of great writing and The Nightwatchman is making sure its future will be too. The Nightwatchman is a quarterly collection of essays and long-form articles which debuted in March 2013 and is available in book and e-book formats. We are approaching a half-century of standard issues (and several special editions), running to 140 pages each packed with quality writing.

The Nightwatchman features an array of authors from around the world, writing beautifully and at length about the game and its myriad offshoots. Contributors are given free rein over subject matter and length, escaping the pressures of next-day deadlines and the despair of cramming heart and soul into a few paragraphs.
