We are pleased to announce that we have three new columns on Cricinfo. The first sees the return of Tim de Lisle, the founder editor of wisden.com, former editor of the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, and champion of the short column, who will write a column every other Tuesday that is, appropriately, a multiple of short columns.
Each Thursday The Lowdown will profile the best of the up-and-coming players from across the globe, and on Tuesdays the Cricinfo XI will pick sometimes topical, sometimes abstract XIs from ancient to modern.
