Full list


Basic

 * name: Player's commonly used 'cricket' name (e.g. Len Hutton, AB de Villiers). Note, the name is suppressed if yes.
 * honorific_prefix : For things like  – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as knighthoods and titles of nobility; do not use it for routine things like "Dr." or "Ms.".
 * honorific_suffix : For things like  – honorifics of serious significance that are attached to the name in formal address, such as national orders and non-honorary doctorates; do not use it for routine things like "BA". It is not necessary to use the  template in this parameter; doing so will make the output smaller (that template is intended for inline use in the article lead, and uses small-caps style).
 * female: Enter "true" if female
 * image: An image of the subject. Type the name of the image file without adding  before it or wikilinking it. If no image is available yet, do not use an image placeholder.
 * image_size or imagesize: The image size in pixels. Use only when absolutely necessary. Examples: 200px (set width), x300px (set height), or 200x300px (max width & max height).
 * alt: Alternative text for image, for visually impaired readers (see WP:ALT)
 * caption: A caption for the image displayed. Include date of photograph, if known.
 * full_name or fullname: The player's full name, if different than name.
 * birth_date: The player's birth date. If living, use Birth date and age, Birth-date and age, or Birth year and age. If deceased, use Birth date or Birth-date.
 * birth_place: The player's place of birth. Do not use a flag template; There is no need to link major geographic features such as major country names or the names of global cities such as London.
 * death_date: The player's death date, if applicable. If the date of birth is known, use Death date and age, Death-date and age, or Death year and age. Otherwise, use Death date or Death-date.
 * death_place: The player's place of death, if applicable. Do not use a flag template. There is no need to link major geographic features such as major country names or the names of global cities such as London or to link the same place name if the player was born in the same location.
 * nickname: The player's common nickname. This must be frequently used by reliable sources in reference to the subject per MOS:NICKCRUFT. This would be the case for players such as Ian Botham or Ricky Ponting or, possibly, John Crawley whose nickname appears in his CricInfo profile. In particular note that MOS:BIO says that "a sports journalist's one-off reference to a player [using a name] does not constitute a nickname, and treating it as one is original research".
 * height: The player's height in feet and inches, centimetres, or metres (e.g. 6 ft 2 in or 193 cm or 1.93 m). The infobox will automatically display the appropriate conversion within parentheses.
 * heightft and heightinch: 'or' Enter height in feet and inches (e.g. 6 and 2)
 * heightcm: 'or' Enter height in centimetres (e.g. 193)
 * heightm: 'or' Enter height in metres (e.g. 1.93)

 * role: Enter either Batsman, Bowler, All-rounder or Wicket-keeper
 * family: Enter wikilinks to other notable relatives, followed by relationship in s. (e.g. Adam Hollioake (brother)]]

Stats
Up to 4 Column types can be used for different codes of the game. Suggested 4 are Test, ODI, FC, LA. Others may be used to make up the columns (T20I, T20, TRO. N.B. It was agreed that T20 figures would only be used to pad out the four columns, and as such they would come at the end of the infoboxes. Test, ODI, FC and LA will occupy the standard four, if one is missing, move the others to a prior column, freeing the space at the end. Giving for example, "Test, FC, LA, T20" or "ODI, T20I, FC, LA" or "FC, LA, T20, U-19". In other words, the priority columns occupy the first available column. The total number of columns can be set from 1 to 4.
