List of Bengal cricketers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of all cricketers who have played in first-class, List A or Twenty20 matches for Bengal, mostly in the Ranji Trophy (FC), Vijay Hazare Trophy (LA), and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (T20) competitions. Seasons given are the first and last in which each player represented Bengal, but they may not have played in all the interim seasons and many played for other senior teams besides Bengal. Players in bold have played international cricket.

Teams called Bengal were formed in 1889/90 and 1922/23 on special occasions but the matches they played were not first-class. The 23 players who took part in those matches have been included with a ‡ symbol to indicate status. Bengal made their senior debut in 1935/36 when they played the touring Australians and then joined the Ranji Trophy.[1]
