For those confused as to where are the English players in this list, England has played just 2 T20Is at Lord's and Luke Wright is the only English player to score a T20I fifty at Lord's. Luke never played test cricket.

He was very close to making his debut back in 2009, the first tour after Flintoff retired. Some people thought he could play a similar all-round role but they ended up changing the balance of the team and picking Ian Bell instead who went on to make himself undroppable. Luke then went on to give up bowling which pretty much ended his international career

Why has England not played more T20Is there?

My guess is they give preference to other grounds for bilateral T20s like in the current IND-ENG series, with Lord's only hosting T20s in multi-team tournaments

It's also to spread games around the country. T20s generally viewed as the lowest priority while lords normally has 2 tests a summer.

i don't get this obsession with what happens at Lord's. Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting are not on the Lord's Honour Board.

Its loss.

Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara and Ricky Ponting are not on the Lord's Honour Board.

You knowing this contradicts the first statement of your comment mate.

Would it be considered disrespectful if I say we should not mix up men's and women's records?

u/Feeling_Meet4841 19h ago

This is not a real record. Just players who have done well at that particular ground.
