'Why would anyone want to hear from me?' Enjoyed chatting to Ian Ward about his journey into the commentary box, the realities of the job, the art of presenting and masterclasses telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2025/0…
Tim Wigmore, author of Test Cricket: A History, speaks to CricketNext about the future of the loved format, how India helped shaped it into its current form and more. @timwig news18.com/amp/cricket/te…
Had a go at predicting when Joe Root could overtake Sachin Tendulkar as the all-time top Test run scorer. Reckon summer 2028 is possible *if* he remains in form and injury-free - he has a very realistic chance telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2025/0…
For anyone @lancscricket today, am signing copies of Test cricket by the club shop at lunch

66 overs into England's innings and Shardul and Washington (despite his performance at Lord's) have bowled six overs between them. India's conservative team selection - over-valuing lower order runs, and ignoring Kuldeep Yadav as a result - has really helped England.
In their mid-30s, allrounders normally reduce their bowling workloads. Aged 34, Ben Stokes has now taken more wickets in a home summer than ever before, benefiting from 5 months without playing a professional game earlier this year and a tweaked run-up telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2025/0…
1-45 from 15 overs on Liam Dawson's first day back as a Test cricketer: unremarkable figures, but he showed excellent control on the opening day. It added to the sense that Dawson's all-round package will be an attractive option when Shoaib Bashir is fit telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2025/0…
Will be signing copies of Test Cricket: A History by the club shop at @lancscricket at lunch on the first 3 days of the Test if anyone wants to say hi

🗣️ Sky Cricket host Ian Ward has come a long way from cleaning planes and was captivated by broadcasting even before he played for England Read his interview with @timwig below ⬇️ telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2025/0…
In 2021, the average in the England-India series with the old ball was 34. This year, with the balls softer, it is 65. Major League Baseball bought the league's ball-manufacturer in 2018. Yet cricket continues to treat the ball like an afterthought. telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2025/0…
🚍Cricket on the buses. A piece on the Windrush generation and a unique period of history where arguably the strongest club cricket in England was played between London Transport bus garages. Thanks to @alextudorcoach and his dad Darrell for their time observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
West Indies not being able to retain talent is now a growing problem in T20 cricket too. They'll be without Nicholas Pooran, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell at the next T20 World Cup. Worrying sign for international cricket, especially with Heinrich Klaasen retiring too.
A really fun chat about Test cricket, and why this strange game has endured for 148 years, with @amitvarma seenunseen.in/episodes/2025/…
It’s gonna be a great rest of the year. Test Cricket - A History with a gem already in the first few pages. “One of Test cricket’s great traditions was already established: the England batting collapse.” (From 1882) @timwig @ajarrodkimber @AnnieChave
