Comment: Likely notable, however, every cricketer needs their religion to be sourced. After that, I'll accept it. Tavantius (talk) 18:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
This is an incomplete list of Muslim cricketers, who have played at least one international cricket match for a country's national team and the list doesn't classify them as their homelands; Rather, it's classified them in the country for which they had played.
This list is similar to other lists on Wikipedia, As such List of Indian muslims, List of Muslim historians, List of Muslim footballers, List of Muslim atheists, List of Bangladeshi Hindus etc. it does not encourage any religious or ethnic division.
