English national cricket captains
Encyclopedia
This is a list of all English national cricket captains, comprising all of the men, boys and women who have captained
an English national cricket team at official international level. England played in the first Test match
in 1877 and have played more Test matches, and had more captains, than any other team. In the 19th century, the captains for overseas tours were chosen by the promoters, with James Lillywhite
, Alfred Shaw
and Arthur Shrewsbury
being the main professional promoters. However, some amateur tours went abroad under Lord Harris and Lord Hawke
. Home captains were selected by the home ground authority, who often went for their local favourites.
For around sixty years, from 1902/3, the Marylebone Cricket Club
took over the organisation of all overseas tours, with the games played being technically by the "MCC" rather than "England". They brought with them the tradition of having amateur, rather than professional, captains, and after Shrewsbury there wasn't another professional captain until Len Hutton
around sixty years later. The amateur/professional distinction was abolished in 1962, and a new breed of captain in Brian Close
and then Ray Illingworth
was born.
From the mid-1980s until the late 1990s, English cricket was in decline, with the England team suffering many heavy defeats. The desperation was most clear in the "summer of four captains" in 1988, during the West Indies tour of England, when the captaincy started with Mike Gatting
, who was sacked after the first Test as a result of a dalliance with a barmaid. He was initially replaced by John Emburey
, who was so poor as a captain that he was replaced after two Tests. Chris Cowdrey
came into the team as captain for the fourth Test and was then injured. Finally, Graham Gooch
became England's fourth captain of the summer. Unsurprisingly, England lost the five-Test series 4–0. From the late 1990s under Nasser Hussain
's captaincy, England started to enjoy a revival, which continued under Michael Vaughan
. England were the only team undefeated in 2004, and were, as at June 2005, ranked as the second-best Test nation in the world. Later that summer they regained The Ashes
from Australia, having not held them since 1989. They subsequently lost the Ashes in 2006/07 under Andrew Flintoff
. Following Vaughan's retirement England was captained briefly by Kevin Pietersen
before the incumbent Andrew Strauss
took the position.

At the time, these matches were thought of as Test matches. However, later they were stripped of Test status. England's captain in all five games was Ray Illingworth

Rebel tours to South Africa
South Africa was banned from world cricket in the 1970s and 1980s because of the apartheid regime then operating in that country. In the 1980s, South Africa paid a number of leading cricketers to visit on private tours. The visitors were identified by country, and they played matches that were called "Test matches" in South Africa.
