List of Test Team Captains

No team had more captain than England in cricketing history. England played the first-ever Test match against Australia. In their early years of cricket, they had a lot of captains leading the side. In the 19th centuries, the captains were chosen by the promoters. For more than 73 years, MCC governed the cricketing activities of England National Cricket Team and also chose captains for different tours.

They made it a tradition of opting for an amateur captain rather than professional captains. Ray Illingworth was the first England skipper in one-day internationals. He led the side in the first-ever one-day international between England and Australia in 1977. England played their first T20 international under the leadership of Michael Vaughan in 2005.

The England Women’s team played their first international game on the 1934–35 tour of Australia and New Zealand. They played under the leadership of Betty Archdale. Women’s internationals were played sporadically until the last quarter of the twentieth century when ODIs became frequent. The first ODI match was played in 1973 when England Women were led by Rachael Heyhoe-Flint. England Women’s first T20I was played in 2004 under the captaincy of Clare Connor.
