A cricketer is a person who plays the sport of cricket. Official and long-established cricket publications prefer the traditional word "cricketer" over the rarely used term "cricket player".
In addition, each cricketer has a certain role within his or her team: for example, as a wicketkeeper, a bowler or a batsman. Some cricketers are termed all-rounders due to being skilled in both batting and bowling.
The term "cricketer" is also used to refer to one of a number of print publications related to the sport:
- The Wisden Cricketer
- The Cricketer Magazine
