|April 22, 2025
CRICKET England trio Gus Atkinson, Jamie Smith and Sophie Ecclestone have been named among Wisden's cricketers of the year, with Liam Dawson and Dan Worrall making up the almanack’s famous five.

The honour has a lineage dating back to 1889 and can be won once in a career, based on performances from the previous English summer.
Atkinson was a red hot favourite to earn a nod in the 2025 edition after a remarkable first year in Test cricket. He seamlessly picked up the baton from the retiring James Anderson with 12 debut wickets in the latter's Lord's farewell and later scored a maiden century at the home of cricket before finishing the year with 52 scalps.
