This is a list in alphabetical order of cricketers who played in first-class matches for the Europeans teams which took part in various Indian tournaments from August 1892 until January 1948.[1] The first match in 1892 was the Bombay Presidency Match between Europeans and Parsis on the Bombay Gymkhana. This tournament, always first-class, grew to include the Hindus, the Muslims, and The Rest. Besides the Bombay Gymkhana, matches were played at the Poona Gymkhana and the Deccan Gymkhana Ground, also in Poona. The last match was played in January 1946.[1]

A second Europeans team was formed in Madras in 1908 and this also gained first-class status in 1915/16 when the annual Madras Presidency Match began. That fixture, played at the Chepauk Stadium until January 1948, was between the Europeans and the Indians. The last match was played five months after India gained Independence from the United Kingdom.[1] The Lahore Tournament began in March 1923 and was played sporadically at the Lawrence Gardens ground in Lahore until January 1930. These matches were also first-class and involved the Europeans, the Hindus, the Muslims and the Sikhs.[1] The Europeans played occasional matches against other teams, including Marylebone Cricket Club in 1926.[1]

Other Europeans teams took part in the Sind, Central Provinces and Deccan Quadrangular Tournaments, but these did not have first-class status.[2] In total, the Europeans played in 127 first-class matches.[1]

The details are the player's usual name followed by the years in which he was active as a first-class player for Europeans teams, and then his name is given as it would appear on modern match scorecards. Note that many players represented other first-class teams besides the Europeans.[3]
