The most famous sports book in the world, the Almanack has been published every year since 1864. Wisden 2018 contains coverage of every first-class game in every cricket nation, and reports on all Test matches, ODIs and T20 internationals. Trenchant opinion, compelling features and comprehensive records make it the cricketers' bible worldwide.

Now in its 155th year, the Almanack makes history with Anya Shrubsole as the first women to feature on the cover, while inside we celebrate England’s spectacular win in the women’s Cricket World Cup, Simon Wilde reflects on the England men’s passage to their 1,000th Test, Tanya Aldred examines sexism in cricket, Harry Pearson celebrates 50 years of overseas players in the county game, and Zafar Ansari explains why he gave it all up at the age of 25.
