Description

The world in which I began my life in cricket could hardly be further away from the world of cricket today. 

Henry Blofeld has entertained countless fans around the world with his wit and charm. In his trademark way, Blowers reminisces on a lifetime of being immersed in the sport he loves.

Taking readers on a nostalgic journey through his illustrious career, sharing delightful stories about the timeless traditions and remarkable characters that have shaped the game.

Looking back at the great characters that brought the sport to life, Sharing My Love of Cricket is a nostalgic and heart-warming reminder of the appeal of summers gone by.

With the same wit and wisdom that has endeared him to fans worldwide, he turns his keen eye to the future of the sport. With the rise of the short-format game, the unrelenting rise of franchises, and the inevitable influx of money, Henry shares his thoughts on what the future holds and what comes next. Can cricket maintain its historic charm while embracing change? And where is the spirit of cricket? Sharing My Love of Cricket is a love letter to the sport, penned by a man who has lived and breathed the game for decades.

It is a reflection on how things were and an analysis of where things are heading. Henry Blofeld's book is a clear reminder of why there is nothing quite like cricket.
