1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 1302 - 37 days into 2026 and Vaibhav has yet to not be our Number 1 Cricketer of the Year. His 433 points this week puts a gap between him and second again as he is our first 'man' past 1000 points.

2. Quinton de Kock - 837 - A quiet final T20 against West Indies....if you can call a 14 ball 28 quiet. He then followed that up with a warm up game against India where he neither batted nor kept wicket. Still enough for a second week at 2.

3.Sam Curran - 749 - His Player of the Tournament performances sees him move from 6th to 3rd this week. Last year's Cricketer of the Year is positioning himself very well again in 2026.

4. Nat Sciver-Brunt- 711 - Was, by some great distance, one of the stand out performers of the WIPL....but was not supported well enough by her team mates and did not make the final rounds. A spell in the wilderness now will see her slip down the List.

5. Aiden Markram - 693 - 38 runs at a 200+ strike rate in a warm up match against India slightly made up for his score of just 2 in the final T20 against West Indies. Moves down a spot to 5th overall with Brook 87 behind him.

Let's see if we can sneak in the Overall Top 5 Best Cricketers in the World after Week 5
1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 433 - What a stunning performance in this tournament for this young man! Culminating, of course, with that destructive innings against England in the final. Vaibhav is the first player to two Cricketers of the Week in 2026.

2.Sam Curran - 229 - The upcoming T20 World Cup could be a very very important one in solidifying the Curran legacy. Certainly he has led into it well with a strong bowling performance in one T20 game against Sri Lanka and a strong batting performance in the other.

3. Simon Harmer - 200 - Well here we are once more. Harmer with red ball in hand with bags of wickets and a full compliment of Economy points. Expect to see much more of this as the year goes on.

4. Saim Ayub - 189 - Seems to have shrugged off his early year slump and has been in the Top 5 for two successive weeks. He moves into the Top 10 and, with a good #T20WorldCup, could be right up in the thick of it.

5. Pathum Nissanka - 180 - Managed to rack up the points this week without doing anything too over the top. Three scores between 23 and 34but all at decent licks and it sees him comfortably in the Top 5. He also is 91 points off Marco Jansen in 10th Overall.
