Does he count what the players get in twenties? (6)
I believe the answer is:
scorer
'does he count what the players get in twenties?' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'does he count' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'count' could be 'score' (I've seen this before) and 'score' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for scorer that I've seen before include "Keeper of the tally" , "Sir, not one without heart as a" , "Cricket bookkeeper" , "player achieving a touchdown?" , "Cricket statistician" .)
