List of centuries scored on One Day International cricket debut

Desmond Haynes
Desmond Haynes (left) has the highest score of any batsman on ODI debut.

A cricketer scoring a century (100 runs or more) on his One Day International (ODIs) debut is regarded by critics as a significant achievement.[1][2] As of August 2018, 14 players from 9 different international teams have accomplished this feat. Players representing eight of the twelve teams that have full member status have scored an ODI century on debut.[3]

England's Dennis Amiss was the first debutant to score a century in ODIs; he scored 103 runs off 134 balls against Australia during the first match of the Prudential Trophy in 1972.[lower-alpha 1] His total was surpassed by Desmond Haynes of West Indies when he made 148 against Australia in 1978.[3] As of 2018, this remains the highest individual score by a debutant in ODIs. In a 1992 World Cup game against Sri Lanka, Andy Flower made 115 not out while making his first ODI appearance, representing Zimbabwe.[5] It remains the only World Cup century by a debutant as of the 2015 tournament. In September 1995, Pakistan's Saleem Elahi set a record for becoming the youngest player to achieve the feat; aged 18, he was yet to play first-class cricket then.[6][7][8] Between 1972 and 1995 only four players had scored a century on their ODI debut. However, since 2009, ten players have achieved the feat.[3] South African Reeza Hendricks holds the record of fastest century by a batsman on ODI debut (88 balls).[9] Of the 14 occasions a cricketer has scored a century on ODI debut, their team has lost only 2 times.[lower-alpha 2][3]
