List of Cambridge Town Club and Cambridgeshire cricketers

This is a list of cricketers who represented either Cambridge Town Club (CTC) or the original Cambridgeshire County Cricket Club from 1817 to 1871 when both teams held first-class status.[1][2] Players who played for teams with the alternate titles of Cambridge Union Club (1826–1833), Cambridge Townsmen (one match only in 1848) and the Cambridge Town and County Club (1844–1856) are included, all being variations of CTC.[3]

The town club was formed before 1817 and evolved into the original county club, which was formally established on 13 March 1844 but folded in 1868, although a handful of Cambridgeshire matches were played until 1871.[4] Note that the modern county club, which plays in the Minor Counties Cricket Championship, was founded on 6 June 1891.[4] Cambridge University Cricket Club co-existed in its early years but was an entirely separate entity.

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a Cambridge(shire) player and then his name is given as it would appear on a modern match scorecard (i.e., usually his surname preceded by all initials). Some players also played for the University and many players represented other teams outside Cambridgeshire. Six Cambridgeshire players were part of the combined Cambridgeshire and Yorkshire XI which played a combined Kent and Nottinghamshire XI in 1864.
