New book explores 150 years of test cricket

Tim Wigmore's "Test Cricket: A History" delves into the sport's storied past with exclusive interviews and insightful narrative, perfect for enthusiasts seeking a comprehensive understanding of Test cricket's impact.

New book explores 150 years of test cricket

A new book, "Test Cricket: A History" by author Tim Wigmore, tells the gripping story of the players and stories that have shaped the game's evolution since 1877.

The book, published by Hachette, features over 40 exclusive interviews with cricket greats including Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Pat Cummins, Michael Holding, Muthiah Muralidaran, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Chappell, and Dale Steyn.

"From Bodyline to Bazball, the golden age to the rise of West Indies, and Shane Warne to Ian Botham, readers will come to appreciate Test cricket's remarkable history like never before. A perfect single volume history for any cricket fan from an award-winning Telegraph cricket correspondent!" the publisher said in a statement.

The history of Test cricket is rich, stretching back nearly 150 years and forming the foundation of the modern game. The first official Test match was played between Australia and England from March 15–19, 1877 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) -- which was won by Australia.

Touted to be the definitive history of test cricket, the book brings to life both Test cricket on the pitch and the game's social significance around the world. It has received rave reviews from English historian David Kynaston.

"Wonderfully wide-focused, unfailingly readable and laced with passages of insightful analysis, Tim Wigmore’s history of test cricket is a true tour de force," writes Kynaston in his praise for the book.

Wigmore's previously authored books include "Crickonomics", a Waterstones sports book of the year, and "Cricket 2.0: Inside the T20 Revolution", which won the Wisden Book of the Year and Daily Telegraph Cricket Book of the Year in 2020.

"Test Cricket" is available for purchase across online and offline stores.
