Mitcham Cricket Club established its Hall of Fame on the occasion of its 130th anniversary dinner in 2014. The Hall of Fame recognises the greatest players to have represented the club over its long history with 16 players being included in the original induction. At Mitcham’s 140th anniversary dinner in 2024, a further 12 players were inducted into the Hall of Fame.
