The Wisden Leading Woman Cricketer in the World is an annual cricket award selected by the editor of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack. It was established in 2015,[1] to select the best female cricketer based upon their performances anywhere in the world in the previous calendar year.[2] Prior to the establishment of this dedicated award, women were also eligible for inclusion in Wisden's Cricketers of the Year; two were selected, England's Claire Taylor in 2009 and Charlotte Edwards in 2014.[3]
The inaugural recipient of the Wisden Leading Woman Cricketer in the World was Australian international cricketer Meg Lanning.[4]
The most recent awardee is England's Nat Sciver-Brunt.
