Wisden Cricket Monthly - Issue 98
In the new issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out June 18, we profile India's teen sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and examine how one kid's genius is changing the game.
Anjali Doshi speaks to the people who have helped build the phenomenon of Sooryavanshi, before Ben Gardner considers the 15-year-old's wider impact and Jo Harman-McGowan gives a brief history of sporting prodigies who were touted for greatness before they'd reached adulthood.
Elsewhere, Phil Walker reacts to the Ben Stokes crisis which has engulfed English cricket, we reveal Test cricket's all-time 'Average XI', and Raf Nicholson looks forward to the first-ever women's Test match at Lord's.
Ed Joyce reflects on his career of split allegiances, Mo Bobat tells us how he and Andy Flower masterminded RCB's back-to-back IPL titles, Lauren Filer lifts the lid on her pace addiction, and Andrew Miller says the clock is ticking on five-day Test matches.
We also consider if England's latest Test opener Emilio Gay can succeed where Zak Crawley failed, Lawrence Booth argues Bangladesh deserve more recognition, Daniel Norcross explores what the 'eye test' actually means, and we cover all the biggest stories from the men's and women's game across 17 pages of dedicated county coverage.
