From their first match on June 7, 1975; 14 players represented the East Africa cricket team in One Day Internationals (ODIs). A One Day International is an international cricket match between two representative teams, each having ODI status, as determined by the International Cricket Council (ICC). An ODI differs from Test matches in that the number of overs per team is limited, and that each team has only one innings.

East Africa were invited to compete in the 1975 cricket World Cup and the team included players from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. The countries making up the East African cricket team now have separate cricket authorities and play under their own national flags. As a result of this East Africa ceased to be a member of the International Cricket Council in 1989.

In total, East Africa played sixteen ODIs. Eight East African players took part in all three matches: Frasat Ali, Jawahir Shah, Mehmood Quaraishy, PG Nana, Ramesh Sethi, Samuel Walusimbi, Zulfiqar Ali and captain Harilal Shah. Frasat Ali was the leading run-scorer with 57 runs, and his score of 45, made against New Zealand, was the highest total by an East African batsman in ODI cricket. Mehmood Quaraishy had the highest batting average. Zulfiqar Ali claimed more wickets in ODI matches than any of his compatriots, taking 4.

This list includes all players who have played at least one ODI match and is initially arranged in the order of debut appearance. Where more than one player won their first caps in the same match, those players are initially listed alphabetically at the time of debut.
