Sign up to The Cricket Drop - our new cricket newsletter on Substack
A brand new newsletter is bringing you the biggest news and headlines from around the world of cricket, whether it's T20, Test, One-Day Internationals, County Championship, The Hundred or IPL. The brainchild of James Rodger, a lifelong cricket fan with a season ticket at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, The Cricket Drop - available on Substack - strips away ads, the noise, paywalls and more to give you the very best opinion, features, views and news from cricket writers across the globe. The Cricket Drop is your new weekly cricket newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox. With one eye firmly on this summer's domestic season and the other on the blockbuster Ashes series this November and December, it's set to become essential reading for fans in England, Australia and beyond. James said: 'I have bored my wife to tears with Test Match Special on in the car, and Sky Sports on in the house - so it seemed high time I channel my passion into something more creative. "I was an avid cricketer in my youth - so if you want to support my efforts to turn my career-best 21 not out into a more meaningful endeavour, I'd love you to subscribe to The Cricket Drop. After all, it's free!" James added: "There is so much fantastic cricket writing out there - from Substacks, to blogs, to broadsheet writers and tabloid reporters. It's all out there waiting for you - if only you could strip away the noise and find it. That's what I want The Cricket Drop to be about: the very best (and biggest) of the sport, no matter what format you prefer to watch." What's in each edition? Each newsletter will feature regular sections such as the week's biggest headlines, a round-up from the English domestic scene (be it County Championship, The Hundred, T20 Blast or Women's One-Day Cup), all the biggest headlines from around the world (India, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean and beyond), and rotating sections such as… The upcoming week's fixtures Ashes Watch: Which England stars are out of form? Which County Championship cricketers are putting themselves in conversation for a starting berth in Australia (or a plane ticket Down Under, at least)? Throwback: A journey down memory lane, through video, pictures, news article and more. The Cricket Drop Community Noticeboard: Got a story? An event to promote? A book coming out? Get in touch here. Quote of the Day: Has Ben Stokes called Harry Brook 'dumb' again? Has Ben Duckett got out for 98 and told Sky Sports he 'doesn't care'? Is Sir Ian Botham angry that bananas are bendy? Ticket Drop: Are tickets on sale for the Ashes? The Pataudi Trophy? T20 Finals Day? Are The Barmy Army selling packages to Barbados? We'll have the latest for you. Podcast and video watch: Prefer your cricket news in multimedia form? Then we'll be bringing you all the essential listening - and watching - of the week. How do I sign up to The Cricket Drop? The Cricket Drop will be published on Substack, an independent platform with no ads, making for a cleaner reading experience than on many other websites. You can read the newsletter there on desktop or the app, or simply from your email inbox. So not only do you not have to go searching for the news itself – or wait for the algorithm to decide this is what you might like to see – you don't even have to search for the newsletter. Once it's live it's sent directly to you to read at your leisure. Sign up here or fill in the email box below;
