List of occasional English cricket XIs

This is a list of ad hoc English cricket teams, each of them known as an XI (eleven), which were temporarily formed to play in matches that are recognised as either important or first-class. Generally, they were "scratch" teams named after their patron or organiser. The list is not necessarily exhaustive.

Note that long-established XIs are included at List of historically significant English cricket teams, and not here.
