The Wisden Cricketer of the Year 1993, scored four hundred-plus scores and 17 fifties as an opener.

Stewart, who was relieved of his captaincy duties after England's dismal show at the 1999 World Cup, was a dangerous commodity at the top of the order. His highest ODI score of 116 came in a 1997 fifty-over game against India at Sharjah.
