The Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, commonly referred to as

"Wisden", is a cricket reference book published annually in the

United Kingdom. The publication was first established in 1864 by John Wisden, a

former English cricketer, who wanted to create a reference book that would

provide cricket enthusiasts with a comprehensive guide to the sport.

The first edition of Wisden was a slim, yellow-covered

booklet that cost one shilling. It contained the scores of the most significant

matches played in the previous year, along with a brief summary of the season's

events. Over time, the publication expanded to include articles, opinion

pieces, and statistical data.

In 1889, Wisden introduced its most famous feature, the

"Five Cricketers of the Year" award, which recognizes the top players

of the previous season. The award is still presented annually and is considered

one of the highest honors in the sport.
