I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cricketer's' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'contribution to a declaration' is the wordplay.
'contribution to' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LARA' is hidden in the letters of 'declaration'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for lara that I've seen is " Dr Zhivago's lover".)
