Ashis Ray

Ashis Ray writes on cricket as one of India's longest-serving foreign correspondents, having reported from London since 1977 for organisations including the BBC, CNN, the Ananda Bazar Group, and The Times of India. He made his debut as a Test match commentator in 1975 and was the only Asian ball-by-ball commentator at the 1983 World Cup. His book traces each India match and every semi-final and final in the tournament from its inception through the 2019 edition, offering an eyewitness perspective unavailable elsewhere.
