FOREWORD With events moving so swiftly in the days leading up to my copy deadline, I have had to rewrite some of this Foreword because of the Coronavirus, which, the last weekend – in sporting terms – accounted for the abandonment of the Formula One Grand Prix in , the domestic football programme and England’s tour of . Things are expected to get worse before they get any better, so I fear that the fixture lists at the back of the book could prove to be a case of wishful thinking, rather than reality. Instead of looking forward, therefore, perhaps this is an opportunity to look back – and happily last summer was undoubtedly one of the greatest for any cricket fan. England’s World Cup final Super Over win against and their astonishing Ashes Test triumph by one at Headingley will never be forgotten. This year’s cover star, Sussex’s , earns his place after a series of superb performances in both red- and white-ball cricket for England during last summer, and was at the centre of so much of that drama. It is hard to remember the last time a debutant had such an instant impact. The fact that he is the quickest bowler England have possessed in years, that he is unspoiled enough to tie his sweater round his waist and he has a quirky social media presence all add to the sense of real excitement around him. I was fortunate to be at for his domestic 50-over debut on 8 May, against Pakistan. He may have bowled only four overs before the weather caused the match to be abandoned, but the response from the crowd was palpable. On the field, his team-mates saw what a potent weapon they had; his opponents simply tried to get to the non-striker’s end. And yet that first period of his career – which also featured a stunning spell against and the highest pressure to perform in that Super Over – ended with him suffering a stress fracture to his elbow, and he is currently out of action. This led to some accusations that he had been over-bowled: he sent down slightly more than 400 overs in 22 England appearances in 2019. These criticisms have been dismissed by the England camp, but clearly – if we are to continue to see the best of him in the years ahead (he turns 25 the day before the Annual is published) – he needs to be sensibly managed. And there may be a lesson to be had in how the Australians rotated their pacemen during . But it is not just about him. England travelled to Sri Lanka this month missing not only Archer but also Mark Wood and James Anderson through injury. Had this series gone ahead, England would have played Test cricket on five continents between February 2019 and March 2020. During this summer, England’s men should not only face Test series against West Indies and Pakistan, but also white-ball series against Australia and Ireland. The international programme is obviously a highlight, but the players can’t be expected to cope with so much of it, and nor – perhaps – can the fans’ wallets and purses. And yet, into that crowded field of international cricket comes a major new domestic commitment, The Hundred. The counties have been given plenty of money to compen- sate them for this competition. But the Royal London One-Day Cup takes place at the same time, so the format in which we are now world champions will be deprived of some 120 top cricketers who will be finding their way round a format that is played nowhere else. And as for bringing in players that fans wouldn’t normally be able to see, the register I have supplied for the teams reveals that just 11 of them are not already playing for a county. Superstar cricketers such as Steve Smith, , and are welcome arrivals, as is Nepal’s , but when 90 per cent of these players can be seen in county action anyway, you sense it is not quite the revolution some hoped for.

GUIDE TO USING PLAYFAIR The basic layout of Playfair has remained the same for this edition. The Annual is divided into five sections, as follows: Test match cricket, county cricket (including The Hundred), international limited-overs cricket (including the ICC World Cup and Twenty20), other cricket (IPL, Big Bash, Kia Super League, Ireland and women’s international cricket), and fixtures for the coming season. Each section, where applicable, begins with a preview of forthcoming events, followed by events during the previous year, then come the player records, and finally the records sections. Within the players’ register, there has been some debate with the county scorers over those who are defined as ‘Released/Retired’, pointing out that some players are drafted in for a game or two, and may re-appear in the current season, despite not having a contract as the book goes to press. What I try to do is to ensure that everyone who appeared in last season’s games is included somewhere – this way, at least, if they do play in 2020 their details are available to readers. Players’ Second XI Championship debuts and their England Under-19 Test appearances are given for those under the age of 25. In the county limited-overs records in the Register, those records denoted by ‘50ov’ cover any limited-overs game of 50 or more overs – in the early days, each team could have as many as 65 overs per . The ‘40ov’ section refers to games of 40 or 45 overs per innings. For both men’s and women’s IT20 records sections, I have taken the decision to limit the records listed to those games that feature at least one side that has appeared in an official LOI. While I welcome the ICC’s efforts to broaden the game’s profile, when Uganda’s women can beat Mali’s by 304 runs (after scoring 314 for two – including a out), you wonder who really benefits here. Or when Turkey’s men set the three lowest scores on record on successive days, do they deserve to be shamed three times over?

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND THANKS As ever, this book could not have been compiled without the assistance of many people giving so generously of their time and expertise, so I must thank the following for all they have done to help ensure this edition of could be written: At the counties, I would like to thank the following for their help over the last year: Derbyshire – Stephen Martin and John Brown; Durham – Sam Blacklock and William Dobson; Essex – George Haberman and Tony Choat; Glamorgan – Andrew Hignell; Gloucestershire – Lizzie Allen and Adrian Bull; Hampshire – Tim Tremlett and Kevin Baker; Kent – Becca Smith and Lorne Hart; Lancashire – Diana Lloyd and Chris Rimmer; Leicestershire – Dan Nice and Paul Rogers; Middlesex – Steven Fletcher and Don Shelley; Northamptonshire – Tony Kingston; Nottinghamshire – Helen Palmer and Roger Marshall; Somerset – Polly Rhodes; Surrey – Steve Howes and Phil Makepeace; Sussex – Colin Bowley and Graham Irwin; Warwickshire – Keith Cook and Mel Smith; Worcestershire – Carrie Lloyd and Sue Drinkwater; Yorkshire – Cecilia Allen and John Potter. Thanks to Alan Fordham for the Principal and Second XI Fixtures, Chris Kelly for the first-class umpires and Philip August for the National Counties fixtures. I am very grateful as always to Philip Bailey for providing the first-class and List A career records, and his help in compiling the book. At Headline, my thanks as ever go to Jonathan Taylor for his support and enthusiasm; Louise Rothwell does a great job in ensuring that finished copies are ready only a few days after I write these words; Rob Chilver kindly looked after the Playfair website throughout last summer so it was as up-to-date as possible. John Skermer did a thorough and extremely efficient job in checking the proofs. At Letterpart, the Playfair typesetter since 1994, Chris Leggett and Caroline Leggett play a largely unsung but crucial part in the process. Finally, thanks go to my family for their patience and support. Daughters Kiri and Sophia have now both reached the age where the attractions of their phones and iPads mean they rarely want to disturb me as the deadline draws close – except for providing a parental taxi service, of course. My wife Sugra made sure I could focus as much as possible on finishing the book as deadline day approached, which was an enormous help. Thank you all.
