Any player who is currently batting is, since September 2021, officially referred to as a batter regardless of whether batting is their particular area of expertise.

When a batter is dismissal (cricket), out, they are replac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
