This is a list of cricketers who have played for Shropshire County Cricket Club in List A matches. Shropshire, one of the Minor Counties, played 26 List A cricket matches – a one-day, limited overs form of cricket – between 1974 and 2005.[1] After making their List A debut in the 1974 Gillette Cup the county played once in both the 1976 and 1978 editions of the competition. Minor counties were not a regular feature of List A competitions at the time and Shropshire played 15 matches in the NatWest Trophy between 1983 and 2000 before playing eight matches in the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy between 2001 and 2005.[1]

The knock-out nature of the Gillette Cup means that in most competitions Shropshire only played one match, most often against a first-class county. They won six matches during the time they competed in List A competitions, the first win coming against Yorkshire, a first-class county, in the 1984 NatWest Trophy.[2] This was the only time the team was successful against first-class opposition, although the county reached the third round of List A competitions in 2000 and 2002, beating other Minor Counties or Cricket Boards, as well as winning against Ireland in 2000.[1]

Players are listed alphabetically. Most players also made appearances for Shropshire in the Minor Counties Championship and some represented other sides in top-class cricket.
