List of Sheffield Cricket Club players

This is a complete list in alphabetical order of cricketers who played for Sheffield in major double-innings matches prior to the foundation of Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1863. Many of the teams fielded by Sheffield were styled Yorkshire and its players in those games are included here. Sheffield is classified as an unofficial first-class team by substantial sources from 1771 to 1863.[1][2]

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a Sheffield/Yorkshire 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 major teams besides Sheffield and that several played for the county club in or after 1863, at which time Sheffield ceased to be a major team.[3]
