hall of fame
The Cricketer Cup Hall of Fame was launched in Autumn 2022 to celebrate the competition’s outstanding players over the decades. Teams will be announced decade by decade along with an All-Time list to be announced later in 2024.
All competing schools are asked to nominate players, and then a voting panel selects their decade 1st XI from that list, requiring batters, bowlers, a wicket keeper and a captain. No more than two players from any one club can appear in the 1st XI.
