'The Cricketer' Magazine Offer

Simon Hughes (The Analyst) has sent us information about an offer for The Cricketer Magazine which celebrates its centenary.

The email from Simon can be seen below.

Hi everyone.
Hope all well. Great Test match despite the result!
Just a message from The Cricketer magazine (which I am editor of.)  There is a special offer in our centenary year at the moment - six months subscription for £19.21 (the year of our foundation).   The new issue is out this week and will really appeal to all of you as its message is 'cricket is for everyone' - this is the cover (right.)
We seek to cover the game at ALL Levels.

This is the offer link - https://shop.thecricketer.com/subOffer/centenary.

Join our club and get the best packaged cricket news and insight delivered straight to your door.

All the best and happy watching (and reading!)

Simon
