List of Dolphins cricketers
This is a list of cricketers who played for the South African franchise Dolphins cricket team between the 2003–04 season and 2020–21. It includes the players who appeared for the team in first-class, List A and Twenty20 competitions during the period in which the team was a franchise.
During 2003, Cricket South Africa changed the way in which top-class domestic cricket in the country was organised. This created six franchise teams at the top level of domestic competition, combining the existing provincial sides to create an elite competition. The Dolphins franchise was formed by the KwaZulu-Natal cricket team, the only one of the six franchises to not involve combining existing teams. Initially the side competed in the 2003–04 CSA T20 Challenge, before the CSA 4-Day Domestic Series and CSA One-Day Cup also became franchise-only competitions the following season.[1][2][3]
Ahead of the 2006–07 season, Cricket South Africa added five new first-class teams, one of which was KwaZulu-Natal Inland, effectively splitting the province of KwaZulu-Natal and creating a combined franchise.[a] During the period of franchise competitions, KwaZulu-Natal and KwaZulu-Natal Inland competed as separate cricket unions in the CSA 3-Day and One-Day Cups and CSA T20 competitions. The period of franchise competition lasted until the end of the 2020–21 season when Cricket South Africa reverted to a division based provincial competition, with both teams competing separately from the start of the 2021–22 season.[4][5] Many of the senior provincial unions which had been involved in franchise competitions retained the names of their franchises as marketing tools. KwaZulu-Natal, the senior team in the Dolphins franchise, chose to do so and compete using the name Dolphins.[3]
