Cricket: Wisden to launch Indian edition

LONDON: Cricket bible Wisden is to launch a separate Indian edition, according to its publishers. Cricket in India is booming and Wisden India will focus on all areas of the Indian game from Test matches to domestic competition and has set itself the aim of becoming the independent voice of cricket in the home of the reigning world champions. “The chance to marry Wisden’s age-old strengths with the 21st century home of the game was too good to ignore,” said Wisden editor Lawrence Booth. The first edition will be launched in October 2012.
