In the new issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly, out on April 9, Phil Walker heads to Sheffield for an exclusive sit-down interview with Joe Root.
"I don't think there's ever a sense of completion," says England's greatest run-scorer of his extraordinary career in a wide-ranging conversation that touches on parenthood, celebrity status and Root's concerns for the future of the Test game.
Elsewhere, David Hopps introduces our season preview by considering how county cricket can survive and thrive in a rapidly changing landscape before we analyse the prospects of all 18 counties and examine the state of the domestic game's finances in Katya Witney's special report. We also select our players to watch for 2026 and Raf Nicholson previews the second season of the women's county set-up.
Sussex starlet James Coles is this month's diarist, telling us about the Hundred auction which changed his life, and marauding chatterbox Daniel Norcross joins our impressive stable of columnists for the summer.
A jam-packed issue also features interviews with Sarah Taylor, Chris Rushworth and Danny Briggs, plus a vivid recollection of Steve Waugh's Sydney epic in 2003.
