Wisden Cricketers of the Year

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wisden Cricketers of the Year is an award from the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, which is published annually and recognizes players based on the previous English cricket season. The first awards were made in 1889 and since 1897, with a few exceptions, five players have been honored.

history

The award was first presented as "Six Great Bowlers of the Year" in 1889, before batsmen and 1991 wicket-keepers were honored the following year. In the following years this rotation continued and in 1894 the all-rounders were added. In 1896, with WG Grace , a player was awarded this award for the first time. In the following year, 1897, five players were usually awarded. However, there were also deviations as a result. In 1921, Pelham Warner and 1926, Jack Hobbs, were also awarded to just one cricketer. This was the second time that both received the award, which was also a deviation from the norm. In 1913, John became Wisden, the founder of the Wisden Almanac, although he had been dead for 29 years at the time of the award. Most recently, only four players were honored in 2011 when the intended fifth player was accused of betting fraud.

No players were honored in the war years of 1916 and 1917, while five students were honored in 1918 and 1919 respectively. Between 1941 and 1946 the award was not given, also due to the war.
