The Cricketer is soon to enter its 100th year.
Ever since Sir Pelham Warner founded the magazine in 1921, The Cricketer has been at the forefront of cricket, gathering the best writers in the game.
To this day, the magazine is read by cricket fans around the world. Subscriber numbers continue to grow and after a historic 2019 interest levels in cricket are as high as ever.
But the main reason that The Cricketer has reached this milestone is the loyalty of our readers and support from our advertisers. Those who pick up the magazine read it in its entirety and those who subscribe do so for many years. This loyalty is born out of readers' continued enjoyment of our writers but also trust in our advertisers.
Readers have bought equipment, books, video games, clothing and once-in-a-lifetime holidays. Clubs have also found the perfect deal for their needs, such as ground equipment and playing kit, by simply flicking through their clubhouse's issue of The Cricketer.
The Cricketer will continue to have this incredibly targeted audience which can help brands across the world access affluent, cricket-playing and well-travelled men. And the growth of The Cricketer's digital channels enable advertisers access to a different audience. This is a younger, international group of readers that includes both men and women.
A lot has changed in the sport over the past 100 years, and much has changed at The Cricketer, but one thing has remained a constant. That The Cricketer is still the highest-selling and most loved cricket magazine in the world.
