1.Vabhav Sooryavanshi - 1302 - After his Under 19 World Cup success, the young man has gone back to school to earn grades rather than points. His lead is 291 points off second.
February 15, 2026 at 1:17 PM
2. Quinton De Kock - 1011 - His third successive week in second and with a decent week could overleap into the Gold position. Still a truckload of games to come.
February 15, 2026 at 12:38 PM
3. Sam Curran - 844 - One of the better performing players in an under-performing England team. Finished the week with 95 points and managed to secure 3rd for a second week.
February 15, 2026 at 10:25 AM
4. Aiden Markram- 827 - In spectacular form this year and moves back up into the fourth place spot that he lost last week.
February 15, 2026 at 10:07 AM
5. Harry Brook - 726 - Despite the maelstrom of negativity that swirls around him, Brook makes his Top 5 debut. Never before has he flown so high, nor been so maligned.

What is the Overall Top 5 after Week 1 of the #T20WorldCup ?
February 15, 2026 at 9:34 AM
1. Simon Harmer- 201 - Here is a sight we haven't seen for a while! Simon Harmer claims his 46th Cricketer of the Week award after a year away from the List. Again, wasn't one of his vintage hauls but sees him. What money his 50th this year?
February 14, 2026 at 1:45 PM
2. Quinton De Kock - 174 - Averaging a very pleasing 77.77 points per T20 game. Coming back off the SA20 and straight into dominating the World Cup. If you are playing South Africa you need to get him away ASAP or risk the game.
February 14, 2026 at 12:57 PM
3. Aiden Markram - 134 - One decent performance against Canada and a less impressive one in that super-sized game against Afghanistan. Third straight week in the Top 5 though.
February 14, 2026 at 12:26 PM
4. Saim Ayub - 133 - Not hit a great knock with the bat yet but has had some impactful cameos and also bagged two streaky wickets against the Netherlands. One of those deceptive weeks where you sneak into the Top 5 unknown.
February 14, 2026 at 11:37 AM
5. Harry Brook - 120 - Is playing well even if his captaincy is leaving quite a bit to be desired. Has featured in the Weekly Top 5 for 3 of the 5 weeks he has played.

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.
February 8, 2026 at 5:59 PM
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.
February 8, 2026 at 5:38 PM
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.
February 8, 2026 at 5:01 PM
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.
