	Any player, regardless of their area of special skill, is referred to as a '''batsman''', '''batswoman''' or '''batter''' while they are actually batting. However, a player who is in the team principally because of their batting skill is referred to as a '''specialist batsman/batswoman/batter''', or simply ''batsman/batswoman/batter'', regardless of whether they are currently batting. (A specialist bowler, on the other hand, would be referred to as a ''batsman/batswoman/batter'' only while actually engaged in batting.) While traditionally the term ''batsman'' was used to denote the batting player, with the rising popularity of women's cricket the term ''batter'' is becoming more common, rather than using the gender specific terms ''batsman'' or ''batswomen''. High-profile cricket commentary teams, such as ''[[Test Match Special]]'' of the [[BBC]] and the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation\|Australian Broadcasting Corporation's]] commentary team have transitioned to the term batter.
