The Wisden Cricketers of the Year are cricketers selected for the honour by the annual publication Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, based on their "influence on the previous English season". The award began in 1889 with the naming of "Six Great Bowlers of the Year", continued with the naming of "Nine Great Batsmen of the Year" in 1890 and "Five Great Wicket-Keepers" in 1891. Since 1897, with a few notable exceptions, the annual award has recognised five players of the year. No players were named in 1916 or 1917, as the First World War prevented any first-class cricket being played in England, while in 1918 and 1919 the recipients were five schoolboy cricketers. From 1941 to 1946, the Second World War caused no players were named. Three players have been sole recipients: Plum Warner and Jack Hobbs; the latter two selections are the only exceptions to the rule that a player may receive the award only once. Hobbs was first recognised in 1909, but was selected a second time in 1926 to honour his breaking W. G. Grace's record of 126 first-class hundreds.

John Wisden and eponymous founder of the almanack, was featured in a special commemorative section in the Jubilee edition of the publication in 1913, 29 years posthumously. From 2000 to 2003 the award was made based on players' impact on cricket worldwide rather than just the preceding season in England, but the decision was reversed in 2004 with the introduction of a separate Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World award; the earliest surviving recipient of the award is Sonny Ramadhin, which he became in August 2015 with the death of Arthur Morris. The longest that a recipient has lived after receiving the award is 77 years by Harry Calder, who died in 1995. Calder, uniquely for a male recipient, played no first-class cricket. Among first-class players, the longest lived after receipt of the award is 74 years by Wilfred Rhodes. Six women have been chosen: Claire Taylor, Charlotte Edwards, Heather Knight, Natalie Sciver, Anya Shrubsole and Tammy Beaumont.

Vice admiral William Usborne Moore known as W. Usborne Moore was a British naval commander, psychical researcher and spiritualist. Moore worked as a naval surveyor, serving in Fiji and China. In 1877, he married Maria Gertrude in New South Wales, he developed an interest in spiritualism. Moore had a long history of defending fraudulent mediums as genuine, he endorsed the direct voice medium Etta Wriedt. He defended the Bangs Sisters and stated that the psychical investigator Hereward Carrington had never visited their house or exposed their tricks. After Carrington gave incontrovertible evidence that he had visited their house and caught them in fraud, Moore had to retract his charges. In 1906, Moore attended a séance with the British materialization medium Frederick G. Foster Craddock. A small electric torch used to produce'spirit' lights was discovered in a drawer during a séance by Moore. Despite admitting the fraud of the incident, Moore still endorsed the mediumship of Craddock, stating that his trance control "Graem" was a malicious spirit.

Moore endorsed the American materialization medium Joseph Jonson from Toledo, Ohio. He claimed to have observed materialized spirits emerge from the cabinet during a séance in his book Glimpses of the Next State. Jonson was exposed as a fraud by James Hewat McKenzie who discovered that Jonson's daughter had dressed up as a spirit. In 1907, Hereward Carrington attended séances with Jonson at Lily Dale, New York and concluded "on several occasions, the fraud was apparent, that I was enabled to follow the process of materialisation and dematerialisation with ease. Everything was the most obvious and simple trickery, seen to be such."The spiritualist Arthur Conan Doyle described Moore as "among the greatest of psychic researchers". However, Moore was criticized by psychical researchers. Science historian William Hodson Brock has described Moore as a "credulous spiritualist"; the Cosmos and the Creeds: Elementary Notes on the Alleged Finality of the Christian Faith Glimpses of the Next State The Voices Spirit Identity by the Direct Voice Anonymous..

The Rugby League Reserve Team Championship is a rugby league competition for the reserve teams of the British-based Super League clubs. Having a reserve team is a compulsory part of the minimum criteria to hold a Super League licence, but Catalans Dragons have dispensation to run their reserve team in the French Elite League for logistical reasons; the Rugby League Reserve Team First Division is a rugby league competition for the reserve teams of Championship clubs, although there is no longer an obligation for clubs in the Championship to enter a reserve team. The previous competition for reserve teams was known as the Alliance and on occasion featured the first teams of non-league semi-professional clubs including Hemel Stags and Blackpool Gladiators; the current competition was formed in 2006 as a replacement for the Senior Academy competition for under-21s. Unlike the Senior Academy, which had a grading phase to divide teams into the Championship and First Division based on playing strength of the Senior Academy side, the Reserve Team Championship is for the reserve teams of Super League clubs and the Reserve Team First Division is for the reserve teams of Championship clubs.

In 2007 and 2008 there was an obligation for National League One clubs to run a reserve team (with Celtic Crusaders getting dispensation in 2008 to run theirs in the Rugby League Conference National Division, this has been dropped for the 2009 season, resulting in a smaller First Division. In 2010 the Championship will change to a Super League under-20s and the First Division will remain as a Championship Reserve division. In 2011 the Championship reserve competition became U23 albeit with five over age players allowed. In 2013 the Championship U23 had only four entrants so it was agreed that they could play games between them under the U23 rules and other games would be U20 with two over age players. With teams playing uneven numbers of games the league will be a merit league.
