*Telegraph Sports Book of the Year for 2020*

Cricket 2.0 tells the stories of the characters who have driven the recalibration of a sport at a dizzying, relentless pace: the iconic captain Brendon McCullum, the paradigm shifting batsmen Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers, the pioneering rebel Kevin Pietersen, the Afghan spinner Rashid Khan and the US businessman Venky Mysore, the cricket revolutionary you have never heard of. These are the stars of cricket's present and the men who have shaped its future.

Told through compelling human interest stories, Cricket 2.0 examines how a cocktail of globalisation, technology, big data and money are changing sport faster than ever before, analysing how a traditional game was revolutionised forever. Throughout its history, cricket has been an insular, conservative game that has lagged behind other sports.

Now, it is at the cutting edge of change in the sports industry. For the first time ever, other sports are now learning from cricket. This is the story of how and why.

'Cricket 2.0 takes about as long to read as the average T20 game, and might be time better spent than a good many of them, being both breezily engaging, and full of the format's latest, best and nerdiest thinking.' —  Gideon Haigh, The Australian

'A fascinating insight into how the newest format has impacted on the game at every level including Test cricket. Essential reading for T20 fans and traditional followers.' — Scyld Berry, The Telegraph 

'An invaluable guide by two smart young writers to the story of T20 cricket, to the strategies that underpin it and to the players who have made the format.' — Mike Atherton, The Times

'Cricket 2.0 is the definitive book for those looking to understand the T20 format – both on and off the pitch.' — Nasser Hussain

'A lucid and thoughtful guide to the T20 phenomenon.' —The New Statesman

'Tim and Freddie are the torchbearers of tomorrow, we must listen to them.' – Harsha Bhogle, CricBuzz
