Contents

MCC have rarely taken part in List A matches (a total of seventeen between 1971 and 2020) or top-class Twenty20 matches (a total of five between 2018 and 2020). [3] [4] All the club's home matches have been played at its Lord's venue in London. The majority of MCC players in this period were contracted to county clubs and appeared for MCC by invitation. Some players were from other countries. The list includes players who took part in first-class matches for MCC on tour (e.g., to Bangladesh in 1999/2000). MCC teams have always operated at all levels of the sport and players who represented the club in minor cricket only are out of scope here.

The details are the player's usual name followed by the span of years in which he was active as an MCC player in important matches (the span may include years in which he played only in minor matches for MCC and/or years in which he did not represent MCC in any matches) and then his name is given as it appears on match scorecards (e.g., surname preceded by all initials), followed by the club or team with which he was mostly associated (this may be MCC itself). Players who have taken part in Test cricket have their names highlighted in bold text and the names of players who represented MCC in a List A or Twenty20 match are preceded by the symbol.
