This is a list of cricketers who played first-class cricket in England in matches between the 1861 and 1870 English cricket seasons. The sport of cricket had acquired most of its modern features by this time, and overarm bowling was established as a valid way to deliver the ball beginning in the 1864 season.[1]
The players included are those known to have played in matches which were given retrospective first-class status between 1861 and 1870, inclusive.
