This is a list of cricketers who have played first-class, List A or Twenty20 cricket for the Otago cricket team.[1] Otago played its first representative match in January 1864 against Southland, before playing the first match in New Zealand which is considered to be first-class later in the same month, a fixture against Canterbury. The team has competed for the Plunket Shield since the competition's inaugural season in 1906–07, played its first List A cricket match in 1971 and its first Twenty20 cricket match in 2006. It has played in every senior cricket competition in New Zealand.[2][3] The modern Otago Cricket Association represents the regions of Otago, Southland and North Otago of New Zealand's South Island and is one of six first-class teams in the country.[4]
Players are listed in alphabetical order. Seasons given are the first and last seasons the player played at senior level for the side. Players may not have played in every intervening season and many players will have appeared for other sides during their career.
