Richmond Cricket Club (London)

Although Richmond was historically part of Surrey, the club is a member of the Middlesex County Cricket League. When league cricket for clubs around London came into existence, most of Richmond's regular opponents were from North / West London and they therefore joined them in the creation of the Middlesex League, rather than play teams from South London in the Surrey Championship.[2]

The Old Deer Park has hosted a number of Middlesex games.

As of the 2019 season, Richmond compete in the Middlesex Premier League, which it won twice (in 2004 and 2018).[3] It was also champions twice (1989 and 1998) in the years before the creation of the Premier League.

The Australia international Adam Gilchrist spent a season playing for Richmond in 1989, before he had made his first-class debut. In 2004 a scholarship was set up in his name to allow other young Australian players the chance to have the same experience.[4]
