The Wisden Cricketer

The Wisden Cricketer

"The Wisden Cricketer" is a monthly cricket magazine. It was published by the specialist cricket publisher Wisden in England, until being acquired by Sky in 2007. [http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/wisdencricketer/content/story/291403.html] It was created in 2003 by a merger between "The Cricketer" magazine and "Wisden Cricket Monthly". The magazine is edited by John Stern.

The magazine covers English professional cricket in depth and also carries reports on all Test matches and One Day International cricket played around the world, together with a small amount of coverage of domestic cricket outside the United Kingdom. In addition, it covers amateur cricket in the United Kingdom.

"The Wisden Cricketer" formerly had a sister publication called "Wisden Asia Cricket". It folded in July 2005 but in December 2005 a new publication from the same company called "Cricinfo Magazine" was announced, which has effectively taken its place.
