This is a chronological list of England Test wicket-keepers. The list comprises players who were the designated wicket-keeper at the toss, so the number of matches does not include times when a player has acted as a stand-in keeper, or appeared as a batsman only.
On occasions, another player may have stepped in to relieve the primary wicket-keeper due to injury or illness. Unless the relief player was himself a recognised Test wicket-keeper, he is not included here. The list also does not include Billy Murdoch, who kept in the second innings of his only Test for England,[1] having previously appeared as wicket-keeper in one of his 18 Tests for Australia. He is the only replacement keeper to make a stumping for England. Seven non-keepers have taken a total of eight catches as replacements;[2] none of the regular keepers below have done so.
