Why this record matters
The phrase “english cricketer (born 1967)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5239690. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1967, 1990, 1995 and 1991.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
