List of Cambridge University Cricket Club players

This is a complete list in alphabetical order of cricketers who have played for Cambridge University Cricket Club (CUCC) in major double-innings matches since the club was first recorded in 1817. CUCC teams have always had major status: i.e., classified as an unofficial first-class team by substantial sources from 1817 to 1894;[1][2] classified as an official first-class team from 1895 by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and the County Championship clubs;[3] and classified as a List A team in 1973 only.[4]

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as an CUCC player and then his name is given as it appears on match scorecards (i.e., usually his surname preceded by all initials). Note that many players represented other first-class teams besides CUCC. Current players are shown as active to the end of the 2015 season.[5]

Since the 2001 season, some CUCC players have been members of teams representing combinations of British universities or as part of the Cambridge University Centre of Cricketing Excellence, later rebranded the Cambridge Marylebone Cricket Club University (Cambridge MCCU), which takes students from other universities in the Cambridge area into some first-class matches. Consequently, the only first-class matches in which the authentic CUCC team (i.e., consisting purely of students at the University of Cambridge) has played from 2001 is the annual Varsity Match against a similarly constituted side from Oxford University Cricket Club (OUCC). This list includes only those players who have represented CUCC per se.
