List of Combined Services (United Kingdom) cricketers

The Combined Services cricket team played first-class cricket between 1920 and 1964, featuring in 63 fixtures. The team was made up of cricketers who were serving in the three branches of the British Armed Forces: the British Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force. Throughout the cricket season, the Combined Services regularly played against county opposition and touring sides. In the sides 63 first-class fixtures, 226 different cricketers appeared for the Combined Services. During the period of National Service, the Combined Services were often able to field a strong side of young players who were already associated with a first-class county. Following the formal end of National Service in the United Kingdom in 1960, the Combined Services invariably fielded weaker sides, having lost access to a pool of young county cricketers.
