List of Essex County Cricket Club players

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a complete list in alphabetical order of cricketers who have played for Essex County Cricket Club in top-class matches since 1894 when the team was elevated to first-class status before the club joined the County Championship in 1895.[1] Essex has been classified as a List A team since the beginning of limited overs cricket in 1963[2] and as a top-level Twenty20 team since the inauguration of the Twenty20 Cup in 2003.[3]

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as an Essex player and then his name is given as it would appear on modern match scorecards. Note that many players represented other first-class teams besides Essex and that some played for the club in minor cricket before 1894. Current players are shown as active to the latest season in which they played for the club. The list excludes Second XI and other players who did not play for the club's first team and players whose first team appearances were in minor matches only.[4]

Notes

  1. Adair, Campher, Dockrell, and Foster were part of the Ireland team touring England in 2023. A match against Essex was part of that tour as a warmup prior to the test match against England. In order that more members of the Ireland squad could participate in the match, these four were “loaned” to Essex, and thus appeared for the county.[15][16]
  2. Davis played in four County Championship matches during 1920 as well as for the Second XI during the same season. Other than a surname and initial no biographical details are known.[5]
  3. Gunary was born at Dagenham in 1895. He was a farmer[6] who played club cricket for Ilford, captaining the first XI from 1929 to 1932,[7][8] as well as playing for both Dagenham and Dagenham United.[9] He played a single match for the county side, a 1929 fixture against Leicestershire in which he bowled 19 overs in the match without taking a wicket.[10]
  4. Harris played in two first-class matches for the side as a wicket-keeper in 1905, scoring no runs and holding four catches.[11] He may have had the first initial J,[12] but otherwise no biographical details are known.
  5. Naylor played in one first-class match for Essex as a wicket-keeper in 1906. He scored two runs and held two catches. Other than a surname and initial no biographical details are known.[13]
  6. Stead never actually appeared in a match for Essex. He was selected to play in the match v Oxford University starting on 13 June 1962, but he chose instead to play for Nottinghamshire 2nd XI v Worcestershire 2nd XI starting on the same day. He was on the Essex team sheet and thus appears on the scorecard of the Essex v Oxford University match despite not participating in the game.[14]
