List of Kent County Cricket Club players

This is a list of cricketers who have played for Kent County Cricket Club in top-class matches. The county club has its origin in the Kent Club founded at Canterbury on 6 August 1842. A similar organisation was formed at Maidstone in 1859 and, in 1870, these two amalgamated to create the present county club.[1] Like the Kent county teams formed by earlier organisations, including the old Town Malling club, the county club has always been classified as a top-class team.[1] The players listed have played for the club in first-class cricket, List A cricket or Twenty20 cricket matches.

The first important match played as Kent by the Beverley Club was against an England XI at White Hart Field in Bromley on 25–27 August 1842. The team on that occasion was Tom Adams, William Baker, Edward Banks, William Dorrinton, William Hillyer, John Lefeaver, Will Martingell, Alfred Mynn, Fuller Pilch, William Smith and Ned Wenman.[2]

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a Kent player and then his name is given as it would usually appear on modern match scorecards. Note that many players represented other teams besides Kent. Current players are shown as active to the latest year in which they played for the club.[3] The list excludes Second XI and other players who did not play for the club's first team. Players who represented the county before August 1842 are included only if they also played for the county club after its formation.
