Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, or simply Wisden, colloquially the Bible of Cricket, is a cricket reference book published annually in the United Kingdom.^[1] The description "Bible of cricket" (or variations thereof) has been applied to Wisden since the early 1900s.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Between 1998 and 2005, an Australian edition of Wisden was published.^[5] An Indian version, edited by Suresh Menon, was produced annually from 2013 to 2018,^[6] but discontinued following the publication of a combined 2019 and 2020 issue.^[7]^[8]^[9]
