Notes / History Mitcham can boast one of the oldest cricket grounds in the world. Described as a “Nursery of English Cricket," Mitcham Cricket Club has nurtured generations of local, county, national and international players.

The club pavilion was not built until 1904; prior to that, a number of tents were erected to provide shelter and hospitality for both players and spectators.
