In the sport of cricket, playing 100 Test matches is considered to be a significant achievement. Colin Cowdrey of England was the first cricketer to have reached this landmark,[1] celebrating the occasion with a score of 104 runs against Australia in 1968 during the 1968 Ashes series.[2] In February 2021, Joe Root played his 100th Test during England's tour of India, in which he became the quickest player to reach that landmark,[3] and the first to score a double century in their 100th Test.[4]
Sachin Tendulkar of India is the only cricketer to have played in 200 Test matches, a milestone he reached in his final match, on 13 November 2013 against the West Indies, at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.[5]
As of March 2024[update], 80 cricketers have reached this landmark, including 17 from England, the most among all Test-playing teams.[6]
Following is the list of cricketers who have played 100 or more Test matches.[7][8]
