This is a list of all '''English national cricket captains''', comprising all of the men, boys and women who have [[captain (cricket)|captained]] an [[English national cricket team]] at official international level. England played in the first [[Test cricket|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 [[Robert George Canning Harris, 4th Baron Harris|Lord Harris]] and [[Martin Hawke, 7th Baron Hawke|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 Indian cricket team|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.
==Men's Test match captains==
This is a list of cricketers who have [[captain (cricket)|captained]] the [[English cricket team]] for at least one [[Test cricket|Test match]]. It has been updated to the first Test against [[Indian cricket team|India]] in July 2007. Where a player has a dagger (†) next to a Test match series in which he captained at least one Test, that denotes that player deputised for the appointed captain or were appointed by the home authority for a minor proportion in a series. The dagger classification follows that adopted by ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack]]''.

However, the [[Basil D'Oliveira]] affair, and South Africa's subsequent withdrawal from international cricket left England without a touring side that summer. A Rest of the World XI was hastily arranged to play a 5 match series, which originally was regarded as a Test series. Later the matches were stripped of Test status. The Rest of the World XI won the series 4-1, with [[Ray Illingworth]] captaining England in each match.</ref>

==Other men's captains==
===England v Rest of the World, 1970===
In 1970, the proposed [[South African cricket team|South African]] tour of England was aborted. To replace the tour, a series of five games was played between a "Rest of the World" XI and the England Test team. 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]], who won one game, and lost the other four.
===Rebel tours to South Africa===
[[South African cricket team|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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/cwc2003/hi/newsid_2710000/newsid_2719100/2719133.stm |title=Rebel hell for Gooch|publisher=BBC |accessdate=2008-03-21}}</ref> The visitors were identified by country, and they played matches that were called "Test matches" in South Africa. These games, however, have no official status.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://content-www.cricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/308994.html |title=Rebel tours to South Africa may get ICC recognition|publisher=Cricinfo |accessdate=2008-03-21}}</ref>
