List of early English cricketers to 1771

This is a list of the earliest known English cricketers whose careers began prior to the first matches which are considered to be first-class status in 1772. The list is by season, this being the season in which the player's name first appears in surviving sources.

Cricket underwent radical changes during the 18th century. Patronage and popular support enabled it to outgrow its roots as a village pastime and develop into a major sport. In the early 1760s, pitched delivery bowling was introduced and this necessitated the invention of the straight bat: an evolution in bowling and batting techniques that radically changed cricket.

The earliest known scorecards date from 1744 but it was not until 1772 that they began to be completed and are preserved on a regular basis.

Main article: History of cricket to 1725

Many of the surviving records regarding cricket in the 17th century are from court cases. These include some of the names of people known to have played cricket. For example in a court case held at Guildford in 1698, John Derrick recalled playing cricket on a particular parcel of land when he was a pupil at the Royal Grammar School, Guildford fifty years earlier,[1] whilst in 1611 Bartholomew Wyatt and Richard Latter of Sidlesham in Sussex were both prosecuted for "breaking the Sabbath" by playing cricket on a Sunday.[2] The earliest known reference to cricket in London in 1617 concerns Oliver Cromwell, the future Lord Protector, who played the game there whilst training at the Inns of Court.[3]

A 1624 case records that Jasper Vinall of West Hoathly in Sussex died as the result of an injury during a game, caused by a blow on the head from Edward Tye's bat. He is the sport's earliest known fatality.[4] Further court cases throughout the 17th century record the names of those prosecuted for breaking the sabbath,[5] involved in tithe disputes[6] or in disputes over unpaid wagers.[7]

Sir Robert Paston mentioned in a letter that he had been a "cricketting" on Richmond Green in 1666[8] whilst at around the same time John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough had played cricket whilst a pupil at St Paul's School, London.[9] A reference in 1676 records Henry Tonge playing cricket at the British Mission in Aleppo, Turkey, the earliest known record of cricket being played outside England.[10]

By the beginning of the 18th century, records of names people who might be considered cricketers begin to emerge.
