Update player_meta

The player_meta data set contains the names and other attributes of players who appear on both cricsheet and ESPNCricinfo as at 24 March 2025. This function returns an updated version of the data set based on information currently available online.

Usage

update_player_meta(start_again = FALSE)

Arguments

start_again

If TRUE, downloads all data from ESPNCricinfo without using player_meta as a starting point. This can take a long time.

Value

A tibble containing meta data on cricket players.
