List of Yorkshire County Cricket Club players

This is a list in alphabetical order of cricketers who have played for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in top-class matches since the club was founded in 1863. Like the Yorkshire county teams formed by earlier organisations, the county club has always held first-class status.[1] It has been a List A team since the beginning of limited overs cricket in 1963;[2] and a top-class Twenty20 team since the inauguration of the Twenty20 Cup in 2003.[3]

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a Yorkshire player and then his name is given as it usually appears on match scorecards. Note that many players represented other top-class teams besides Yorkshire. All players whose Yorkshire career ended in or before 2021 are sourced to CricketArchive.[4]

The list excludes Second XI and other players who did not play for the club's first team; and players whose first team appearances were in minor matches only. Players who represented the county before 1863 are included if they also played for the county club but excluded if not.

As of April 2021
