That's er... an odd mixture of players. I did wonder if it was something about most runs/wickets/catches before ODI debut but Matt Fisher belies that.
At the sillier end of things I was going for something about heraldry with an Archer, a Lyon and a Fisher, but no idea what I'd do with a Gavaskar rampant upon a field of vert.

On the correct kind of lines with heraldry! Hint: you're looking at part of Sunny’s surname, and frankly there’s a much better option but I needed an opener.
Second hint: Rabada is only very tenuously in there.

In retrospect it could have done with more clues... here are some big ones!
Sunil Gavaskar Colin Cowdrey Gary Ballance Neil Fairbrother Callum Ferguson Denesh Ramdin (wk) Jofra Archer John Hastings Matthew Fisher K. Rabada Nathan Lyon (the GoaT)

Google has led me to suggest wow as an answer. Totally unfamiliar with the whole thing but seems to fit, would not have ever gotten anywhere near that to be honest.

Blimey. Neither would I, never have played WoW! Anyway I’ve obviously made it too obscure, and I’m going to blame this entirely on a lack of opening batsmen with crab and maiden references in their names. Sorry all. The theme was the zodiac.

Are clues needed for the above?

I got ‘Hope’ ‘Joy’ and ‘Angel’, but... yep, clue please.

Doesn't sound like you're on the right lines....shai hope is the most tenuous player on there and worth ignoring...... If anya shrubsole was an opener she'd have made the team. Summers are better with willow on leather. We can all agree on that.

I have played rather a lot of WoW and I still don't understand Balladeer's...

Quick check: is your theme based around their names, Pierre, or something else?

Their names yes, and linked to television
