List of Marylebone Cricket Club players (1895–1914)

Last updated

Cricketers who debuted for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in first-class matches from the implementation of the official first-class definition in May 1895 until August 1914, after which first-class cricket was suspended until the 1919 season, are as follows. [1] [2] Many of the players represented MCC after the First World War but they are only listed here, as it was in this period that they made their MCC debuts.

The period is often referred to as the "Golden age of cricket". [3] MCC played all its home matches at its Lord's venue in north London. The majority of MCC players were contracted to county clubs or to one of the two main university teams and appeared for MCC by invitation. Some players were from other countries. For much of the 20th century, commencing with its 1903/04 tour of Australia, MCC organised international tours in which the England cricket team played Test matches. The players selected for these tours were contracted to MCC for the duration and appearances by them in non-Tests on the tour were for MCC, therefore any such players are included in this list. MCC teams have always operated at all levels of the sport and players who represented the club in minor cricket only are out of scope here.

The details are the player's usual name followed by the span of years in which he was active as an MCC player in important matches (the span may include years in which he played in minor matches only for MCC and/or years in which he did not represent MCC in any matches) and then his name is given as it appeared on match scorecards (e.g., surname preceded by all initials), followed by the county club or other team with which he was mostly associated (this may be MCC itself). If the player travelled abroad on winter tours organised by MCC, dates and destinations are given at the end of the entry. Players who took part in Test cricket have their names highlighted in bold text.
