Lee Savident played one match for Dorset in 2003, taking a single wicket

Dorset County Cricket Club was formed in 1896, and first competed in the Minor Counties Championship in 1897.[1] Their first appearance in List A cricket was in 1968, and in total they have played twenty matches, making two Gillette Cup, thirteen NatWest Trophy and five Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy appearances.[n 1] On five occasions the county progressed to the second round of the competition: in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2004 and only once did it progress beyond to the third round, in 2000.[3] Minor counties teams were excluded from the competition from the 2006 season;[4] Dorset's last match was against Yorkshire in the first round of the 2004 competition.

In their twenty List A matches, 88 players have represented Dorset. Stuart Rintoul has appeared the most times for the county, playing in ten matches. Graeme Calway recorded the highest score in List A cricket for Dorset, scoring 105 runs against Hampshire in 1992. Jon Hardy, who also during his career played 142 first-class matches is Dorset's leading run-scorer, having scored 217 runs in his four appearances for the county.[5] Vyvian Pike's nine wickets for the county is the most by any player, as well as having the best bowling figures, having taken five wickets against Norfolk in 2000.[6] Martin Miller, who appeared for Dorset on seven occasions, has claimed the most dismissals as wicket-keeper, taking six catches and making two stumpings.[7] Five non-English players have appeared for Dorset; Guernsey's Lee Savident, Scotland's Ian Sanders and South Africa's Andrew Hodgson, Ian Stuart and Lloyd Ferreira.

The players in this list have all played at least one List A match. Dorset cricketers who have not represented the county in List A cricket are not included in the list. Players are initially listed in order of appearance; where players made their debut in the same match, they are initially listed by batting order.
