The league was set up in January 1992 by 15 clubs who were then playing in the Middlesex Club Cricketers League. The MCCL were spread over several counties which led to a declining level of organisational support, lack of communications, poor grounds, lack of umpires, long travelling times on a Sunday and resulted in financial difficulties for the league.

The new league started with 15 clubs and two divisions in 1992 that by 2000 had grown to 28 clubs in 4 divisions. In 2002 we added a 2nd XI competition to encourage the youth and retain the experienced players. Today we also have well established knockout competitions in the form of the MPCL Cup and plate.

Sunil M Gavaskar has always taken a keen interest in our league. He has been present at several games and functions organised by the league during its history. In 2004, Sunil agreed to act as the patron of the league.
