List of England cricketers who have taken five-wicket hauls on Test debut explained

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")^[1] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a significant achievement.^[2] As of 2024, 174 cricketers have taken a five-wicket haul on their debut in a Test match,^[3] with 52 of them being England players.^[4] Alfred Shaw was the first Englishman to take a five-wicket haul at Test debut. He took five wickets for 38 runs in the first Test in history, against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March 1877, but could not prevent England's defeat. Two Australian bowlers also picked up fifers in the same match.^[5] The most recent Englishman to achieve the feat was Gus Atkinson, who took seven wickets for 45 runs against West Indies at Lord's in July 2024.^{[6] [7]} Dominic Cork's seven wickets for 43 runs against West Indies in the second Test of the 1995 series are the best bowling figures for an Englishman on debut.^{[8] [9]}
