Latest news on Middlesex CCC, covering County Championship, T20 Blast and One-Day Cup fixtures, results and player news from Lord's.

Middlesex County Cricket Club is one of eighteen first-class counties in English and Welsh cricket, representing the historic county of Middlesex. Founded in 1864, the club has been based at Lord's Cricket Ground, the Home of Cricket, since 1877, sharing the venue with the Marylebone Cricket Club. Middlesex compete in the County Championship, the T20 Blast and the One-Day Cup, and have won the County Championship title thirteen times, including a shared title in 1949, with their most recent outright success coming in 2016.

In recent years, Middlesex has faced notable off-field challenges, including scrutiny over financial governance and questions about its long-term arrangements at Lord's. The club is a mutual organisation owned by its members, and has explored options for fresh investment while aiming to preserve its heritage and member ownership. Wider discussions across English cricket about training bases, ground access and revenue sharing continue to shape debate over the future of counties that share their home venue.

Beyond the professional game, Middlesex in the Community delivers recreational cricket programmes across schools and clubs throughout Greater London. The club has also invested in growing women's and girls' cricket, including a dedicated new venue in Brentford. Traditional fixtures, such as the London derby against Surrey, draw on decades of local rivalry and continue to attract strong support. Middlesex's presence at Lord's links community cricket with one of the sport's most storied settings.

Middlesex was formally constituted in 1864 following a meeting of 'gentlemen of Middlesex' at the London Tavern, with the Walker family of Southgate central to its early development. The club's most celebrated era followed the Second World War, when Denis Compton and Bill Edrich inspired the 1947 County Championship triumph. Mike Brearley and Mike Gatting later led sustained success through the 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, with John Emburey and Andrew Strauss among many players to represent both Middlesex and England.

From red-ball Championship cricket to T20 Blast nights under lights at Lord's, Middlesex CCC remains a fixture of the English domestic game. Follow the NewsNow Middlesex CCC feed for the latest fixtures, results, player news and club developments throughout the season.
