Cricket Is My Life is the candid and reflective autobiography of Len Hutton, one of England’s greatest opening batsmen and a defining figure of post-war cricket. Writing at the height of his playing career, Hutton traces his journey from Yorkshire prodigy to England captain, offering first-hand insight into the discipline, pressures, and craftsmanship required at the highest level of the game.
 
The book covers his formative years in Yorkshire cricket, the development of his famously orthodox batting technique, and his experiences representing England during a period of rebuilding after World War II. Of particular interest to collectors and historians are Hutton’s reflections on leadership, professionalism, and the changing nature of international cricket in the late 1940s.
 
Illustrated with contemporary photographs — including iconic Test match moments — the autobiography stands as both a personal memoir and an important historical record of English cricket’s transition into the modern era.
