Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World
The Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World award was introduced in 2004 to complement the long standing Wisden Cricketer of the Year awards, which are still given to five players each year. The accolade is awarded by Wisden Cricketers' Almanack to the player who has made the most dominant performances in the year before the publication of each year's almanack (roughly early in the calendar year preceding publication to early in the calendar year of publication). Unlike the Wisden Cricketer of the Year awards, the distinction of Leading Cricketer of the World can be given to the same player more than once.
