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

'cricketer's' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'contribution to a declaration' is the wordplay.
'contribution to' indicates a hidden word.
'LARA' can be found hidden inside 'declaration'.

Can you help me to learn more?

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