This is a list of cricketers who played in England in matches between the 1841 and 1850 seasons . The sport of cricket had acquired most of its modern features by this time and roundarm bowling was firmly established.
More county cricket clubs began to become established during this period, following the establishment of Sussex County Cricket Club in 1839. Clubs were formally established in Nottinghamshire, Kent and Surrey, all of which remain counties today. These teams competed against each other and other teams, although the County Championship was not formally established until 1890.
