  The 134th edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack is edited by Matthew Engel. It reflects on Sri Lanka's surprise 1996 World Cup win, and the rise of Asia as a major power in the game, on and off the field. Wisden 1997 also features a manifesto by Lord MacLaurin on his appointment as chairman of the ECB, and a tribute by Tony Lewis to Dickie Bird on his retirement from international umpiring.

  Published every year since 1864, this almanack contains statistics from the previous domestic season, plus full scorecards of international cricket matches played around the world during the year. The 1997 edition looks back on 50 years of cricket since the war, and the book will also include an index of unusual occurences, tabulating the off-beat and bizarre cricketing events which Wisden has reported. This edition is published to coincide with the start of the English cricket season.
