In this quiz, you have to name every England men’s cricketer to win a cap in 2021.
It’s been a tumultuous year for the England men’s team. Their controversial rest and rotation policy has meant there has been plenty of chopping and changing, while the increasing difference between red- and white-ball cricket means different players are used for different formats.
In the first ODI against Pakistan, with Covid-19 wreaking havoc, England were forced to make 11 changes to their XI, bringing the number of players used up to an even 40. Only once before, in 1930, have they used more players in a calendar year.
Given Ben Stokes struggled to remember England’s debutants at the toss today, this quiz could be a tricky one. You’ve got the formats played by each in 2021, and the number of caps won in 2021 to go on.
You have 10 minutes to get all 40 answers. Good luck!
