The Cricket Paper is delighted to confirm that it is to put on its pads once again ready to return for the 2023 season.

TCP has opened the batting when it comes to top international, domestic and grass roots cricket coverage since its launch in 2012.

Now, after a difficult year back in the clubhouse, we have found our perfect partners to ensure we resume our innings on top.

In conjunction with our friends at Wisden Cricket Monthly cricket magazine, The Cricket Paper will back for a new season, starting on Sunday May 14.

And what a first year back it promises to be…

We simply can’t wait for a summer of ‘Bazball’, starting with a one-off Test match against Ireland, followed by the mouth-watering Ashes series against Australia. Not to mention the World Test Championship final between Australia and India at The Kia Oval in June.

Then, we bring out the white ball for a T20 series with New Zealand before the Black Caps and Ireland provide the opposition over 50 overs as England prepare for the World Cup in India.

England Women are also in multi-format Ashes action before they too revert to the white ball with T20I and ODI series series’ against the Aussies and Sri Lanka.

But it doesn’t stop there. Domestic action in the County Championship, Royal London Cup, T20 Blast and, of course, The Hundred, remains our bread and butter, while our team of top columnists will have their eyes and ears open to bring you all the big exclusives from all four corners of the world, as well as the best of club cricket.

The Cricket Paper will be available from all good stockists every Sunday and also online, with all TCP subscriptions from 2021 carried over accordingly. If you haven’t subscribed, now is the perfect time to do so, simply visit www.thecricketpaper.com/subscriptions.

We’ve been bowled over by the messages of support we’ve received over the winter months and we’re delighted to be able to serve you all once again this summer.

Game on.
