Melbourne Cricket Club is a cricket club based in the city of Kingston, Jamaica. The club was established on 3 May 1892 to provide a club for men of "modest means". It was the third cricket club established in Kingston, after Kingston Cricket Club and Kensington Cricket Club.[1] In that time the club has produced 13 cricketers who represented the West Indies and another 27 players who have represented Jamaica.[2]
Melbourne has traditionally been one of the strongest clubs in Jamaica, winning the Kingston competition (Senior Cup) seven years in a row[dubious – discuss] but was less successful in the early 2000s.[2]
Cricketers from Melbourne CC who have represented the West Indies include:
