England National Cricket Team Records, Results and Players
Covers 953 matches played by England from Dec 2001 to Sep 2026 (Afghanistan matches are not in the open data set).
In every format, the England national cricket team has won more than it has lost across 953 men’s internationals from Dec 2001 to Sep 2026. Tests show 124 wins and 99 defeats, ODIs 223 and 197, and T20Is 124 and 92.
T20Is give England their best win share of decided matches, 57.4 per cent, ahead of Tests at 55.6 and ODIs at 53.1. One gap to know: Afghanistan do not appear in the open data, so England’s games with them are absent from every figure.
