List of Somerset County Cricket Club players

This is a complete list in alphabetical order of cricketers who have played for Somerset in top-class matches from 1882 to 1885 inclusive and then continuously from 1891. Founded in 1875, the club held minor status until 1881 and again from 1886 to 1890. It has been classified as an unofficial first-class team by substantial sources from 1882 to 1885 and from 1891 to 1894;[1][2] classified as an official first-class team from 1895 by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and the County Championship clubs;[3] and classified as a List A team since the beginning of limited overs cricket in 1963.[4] Note that there is disagreement in the sources about the status of certain Somerset matches before 1882.

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a Somerset player. Seasons given are first and last seasons; the player did not necessarily play in all the intervening seasons. Note that many players represented other first-class teams besides Somerset. Current players are shown as active to the end of the 2016 season.[5] Click on the 'CA' to access the Cricket Archive entry for the player.
