Wisden, the revered authority on cricket, has announced a new content partnership with GOATS Entertainment to produce a new documentary series featuring living legends of sport and paying homage to GOATS of the past.

The GOATS of Cricket’will premiere in 2025 and spotlight 12 of the greatest cricket players living today, through a series of exclusive, original interviews and in-depth profiles. The partnership merges Wisden’s unmatched cricketing legacy with GOATS Entertainment’s expertise in visual storytelling and profiling sports’ greatest athletes.

A panel of experts including former England and Surrey legend, Mark Butcher, has been assembled to decide the selection criteria for the new series.

“There’s no better time for GOATS of Cricket,” said Butcher. “The sport is changing before our very eyes and having played with and against many of the greats of yesteryear, such as Gilchrist and Tendulkar, it will be fascinating to compare them with the likes of Kohli and Cummins who are the pioneers of our modern game. Hearing the individual stories of each GOAT and finding out what makes these guys tick will make for great viewing.”

GOATS Entertainment’s CEO, Joe DiMuro, commented: “As we bring the GOATS series into the dynamic world of cricket, we’re celebrating the unparalleled skill and passion that has made cricket a global phenomenon. By spotlighting the living legends and honouring the all-time greats, we’re crafting a series that captures the sport’s rich legacy and its ongoing influence on 2.5 billion fans around the world. While Walter Iooss provided our access and authenticity for the first GOAT series, Wisden is our supreme authority and leverage with GOATS of Cricket.”

“We are incredibly excited to bring the Wisden brand into The GOATS of Cricket,” said Ian Sykes, Managing Director at Cricket Properties. “This series will combine Wisden’s heritage with GOATS Entertainment’s compelling storytelling to create something truly special for cricket fans worldwide. We will not only celebrate the greatest players of yesteryear but also shine a spotlight on the modern-day greats who are continuing to shape cricket today, during the most innovative era our sport has ever seen.”

The GOATS of Cricket will feature never-before-seen interviews with cricket’s biggest stars, intimate behind-the-scenes content, and rare archival footage that celebrates the spirit of cricket. The series will dive deep into the lives of players who have defined generations, offering a comprehensive and emotional portrait of the game’s greatest ambassadors.

The three one-hour episode series will take audiences on a journey through the remarkable careers and personal stories of contemporary cricket legends while also paying homage to the GOATS who helped build the sport into the global game it is today.

Production is slated to begin in early 2025, with the series set to premiere on leading networks and streaming platforms later next year.
