  Containing profiles of every cricketer to have captained England, Australia, West Indies, Pakistan, India, New Zealand or Sri Lanka, this book lists more than 250 individuals chronologically under each country. The biographies are accompanied by a statistical summary of each captain's Test Match record, showing whether the captaincy affected his performances with bat and ball, an insight into the politics of succession , an analysis of some of the more controversial appointments and their social significance, and a study of those which were reactions against the previous incumbent.
