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. Filled with stories and marvellous anecdotes, from his own life, Henry reflects warmly on a different era which was full of great fun and adventure. 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 latest book is a clear reminder of why there is nothing quite like cricket.

Henry began writing about cricket, for The Times, in May 1962 and in 1972 he started his long career as a commentator with the BBC's Test Match Special. During his career he has written for numerous papers and broadcast for both radio and television for many networks around the world especially in Australia and New Zealand. Between 1991 and 1993 he joined Sky Television before returning to Test Match Special after the death of Brian Johnston early in 1994. Since 2002 Henry Blofeld has performed in his humorous one-man show in theatres all round the country, and later he teamed up with his former TMS producer, Peter Baxter, for more than 250 two-man shows. He also had a successful partnership with England Spin Bowler, Graeme Swann. Henry now tours the country with his one man show.
