• 🏆 ICC rankings — current and best ranking per format for batting, bowling and all-rounders
• 🪪 The full profile — full name, photo, role, batting and bowling style, height, date and place of birth, age, country and every team played for

• 🧾 Source context on every row — how the player was found and, for squads, their role group

Why Cricbuzz Players Scraper

Most other Cricbuzz scrapers fail you in one of four ways:

• 🏟️ Match-first — players are a side feature, if they exist at all
• 🔗 URL-only — you must already know every player; no name search, no squad expansion
• 💸 A start fee on every run — which punishes small runs
• 🪦 Works today, breaks next month — nobody maintains it

Cricbuzz Players Scraper is read live on every run, priced honestly with no start fee, and actively maintained.

FAQ

Which players can I scrape? Any player on Cricbuzz — current and retired, men and women, international and domestic — by id, URL, name or team squad.

What does a run cost? $2 per 1,000 players and no start fee. Set Max Players to cap any run.

How fresh is the data? It is read live from Cricbuzz on every run, so rankings and career numbers are exactly what the site shows at that moment.

Can I scrape a whole team? Yes. Put the team id or URL in Teams (whole squad) and every squad member becomes a row.

Do I need proxies or a Cricbuzz account? No. The Actor handles everything.

What if a player has no stats in a format? The row is still pushed, and that format is missing from the stats. You are charged the same either way.
