Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 2005
A player may receive the award only once in his career, although again this was not always the case in former years: Hobbs was given a second award in 1926 to honour his breaking W. G. Grace's record of 126 first-class hundreds, and Plum Warner received a second award for his last season in first class cricket when he led Middlesex to a County Championship win.
The award is based primarily, although not exclusively, on the players' 'influence on the previous English season'. From 2000 to 2003, the award was made based on all cricket around the world, but this ended in 2004 when the Wisden Leading Cricketer of the World award was introduced.
