Players

A huge number of players played in significant matches before 1800. Many of these of these are known by name only, but for others we have a wealth of biographical details. Below is a partial listing of players who played the game before 1800. I unhesitatingly confess, it has been lifted from Wikipedia to whose contributors, I would like to express gratitude.

The players that I have chosen for my Early Cricket Hall of Fame are indicated in the table with a # sign which serves as a link to the page in question.
