1823-05-01
In May 1823 a small-format periodical titled The Cricketer's Companion appeared in London — the earliest documented dedicated cricket publication in any language. It contained match reports, instruction, scoresheets and short articles on the laws. Only four issues were published before the venture folded; surviving copies are scarce. It is the foundation entry of cricket-specialist journalism.
