AVS International Cricket Year Book 2019

3 INTRODUCTION This book lists every cricketer who appeared in a First-Class, List A or Twenty20 match in the 2018 English and Irish seasons or in the 2017/18 season in other countries, thus the book includes every current major cricketer in the world. The first line for each player gives the full name, date and place of birth and player styles where available, and a note of all the teams they have appeared for during the period under review. The lines of statistics are given firstly for the season in each country for each match type, followed by the career record for each match type. The match types are Test, First-Class (FC), One-Day Internationals (Int), List A (Lim), Twenty20 Internationals (I20T), Twenty20 (20T). The season lines are followed by the country abbreviation of where the matches were played, and the career lines followed by the debut season for that match type. If a player’s complete career record for a match type occurred in one country in the period under review then the season line is not repeated. 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 in similar format seasonal and career records for Women’s International matches. ICC ruled that from July 2018 all women’s matches between two ICC members would rank as Twenty20 Internationals so that ICC could implement a complete T20 ranking system for all members. ICC have made a similar ruling for men’s international T20 matches which commenced in January 2019. SOURCE The statistics in this book were derived from the CricketArchive database.
