Congratulations to Nihar Suthar, author of The Corridor of Uncertainty, which has scooped the accolade of Debut Cricket Book of the Year in Cricketweb’s annual awards.

“A superb book and one that deserves to be widely read.” That’s what Cricketweb’s Martin Chandler said about Corridor in his review earlier this year. “There is absolutely no reason why it would not appeal to every single one of the millions of readers who made The Kite Runner a best seller, as well as the rather more modest forty thousand or so who buy Wisden every April…

“It has the potential to be the biggest selling book about the game of cricket ever written. The most thought provoking book on any subject I have read in years.”
