Cricket Heritage is a reflective and historically minded cricket book by W. J. Edrich, one of England’s finest all-round sportsmen of the inter-war and immediate post-war years. First issued in the late 1940s (undated, but generally attributed to c.1948), the book blends memoir, tribute, and cricket history at a moment when the game was re-establishing itself after World War II.
 
Rather than a straight autobiography, Edrich presents cricket as a living tradition—linking great players, defining matches, and the enduring values of the sport. He reflects on technique, temperament, and sportsmanship while placing his own career within a broader lineage of cricketing excellence. The tone is respectful and commemorative, making the book as much about legacy as personal achievement.
 
A notable feature is the inclusion of facsimile signatures, including Don Bradman and Edrich himself, reinforcing the book’s celebratory and heritage-driven theme. The photographic plates—such as the striking image of Bradman congratulating Bill Edrich on reaching 1,000 runs in May 1938—add considerable historical interest.
