The Rhodesian cricket team represented originally the British colony of Southern Rhodesia and later the unilaterally independent state of Rhodesia.

Rhodesia's inaugural first-class match commenced on 16 March 1905 against Transvaal at Old Wanderers in Johannesburg, South Africa and its first limited overs match on 13 December 1970, against Natal at Police B Ground, Salisbury, Rhodesia. In all, 242 cricketers represented Rhodesia in either first-class or List A cricket between 1905 and 1980,[1] when the Rhodesian cricket team was renamed as the Zimbabwe-Rhodesia cricket team before adopting its current name Zimbabwe cricket team in 1981.

When Rhodesia participated in South Africa's domestic competitions, Rhodesian players were eligible to play for South Africa as for cricketing purposes were under the authority of that country's administrators until independence in 1980.[2] Several of the players listed also represented Zimbabwe in Test and One Day International cricket and one, John Traicos, represented South Africa and Zimbabwe.[3]
