List of Lancashire County Cricket Club players

This is a complete list in alphabetical order of cricketers who have played for Lancashire in first-class cricket since the club was founded in 1864. Players who have represented the club in List A or Twenty20 matches only will be listed separately.

The Lancashire teams formed by earlier organisations, essentially the old Manchester Cricket Club, always had major status and so the county club is rated accordingly since its inception: i.e., classified as an unofficial first-class team by substantial sources from 1865 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 since the beginning of limited overs cricket in 1963.[4]

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a Lancashire 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 Lancashire. Some played for Manchester before 1864 and eight players represented a team styled Lancashire in 1864: these players then went on to play in major matches for the new club from 1865. Current players are shown as active up to and including the 2016 season.[5]
