ACS International Cricket Year Book 2014

INTRODUCTION This book lists every cricketer who appeared in a First-Class, List A or Twenty20 match in the 2013 English season or in the 2012/13 season in other countries, thus the book includes every current major cricketer in the world. The following tours are listed as season 2013 in countries which would normally have a season in the form 2012/13 - Australia A in South Africa and Zimbabwe, India A in South Africa, South Africa in Sri Lanka, Pakistan in West Indies, Sri Lanka A in West Indies, Pakistan in Zimbabwe. In all countries players are listed alphabetically with all the teams that they played for in the period under review in brackets after their name, together with details of any tours abroad. Performances in events that were spread over more than one country are split into the appropriate countries. The lines of statistics after the players biographical details are as follows: Test Appearances in Test Cricket in that country in 2012/13 and 2013 FC Appearances in First-Class Cricket in that country in 2012/13 and 2013 (including Tests) Int Appearances in One-Day Internationals in that country in 2012/13 and 2013 Lim Appearances in List A Limited-overs matches in that country in 2012/13 and 2013 (including ODIs) I20T Appearances in Twenty20 Internationals in that country in 2012/13 and 2013 20T Appearances in Twenty20 matches in that country 2012/13 and 2013 (including I20T matches) These are followed by similar lines showing the full career record in the appropriate type of cricket, with the season of debut. If a player made his debut and only appeared in a particular match type in his home country in 2012/13 or 2013, then no career line is printed. In limited overs and Twenty20 matches the 5i column gives instances of exactly 4 wickets in an innings, and the 10m column gives instances of 5 or more wickets in an innings. There is also a section giving career records for those players who took part in Women’s Test matches (WT), Women’s One-Day International matches (WInt) and Women’s Twenty20 International matches (W20T) during 2012/13 and 2013. LIST OF MATCHES INCLUDED First-class matches used to compile the figures for this book are those noted in the ACS first-class match lists, published in five volumes and amended and updated periodically.

The ICC have adopted List A into their Classification of Official Cricket from 2006 but the ACS continues to assist on List A status - for details see http://acscricket.com/ListA/Description.html.
