List of Middlesex county cricketers to 1863
This is a list of cricketers who represented the county of Middlesex in first-class matches before the creation of Middlesex County Cricket Club in December 1863 and its formal constitution in February 1864. The club played its first matches in the 1864 season and this list is limited to those who played for the county until 1863. Some players listed here played for the county before 1864 and for the county club from 1864 so they also appear in List of Middlesex County Cricket Club players. For example, all seven brothers in the Walker family are in this list and the four who played for the county club are in the other list as well.
Until 1863, Middlesex county teams had been raised by numerous individuals and organisations since the first half of the 18th century. It is generally held that these teams were forerunners of the county club and were of first-class standard (see Middlesex county cricket teams).
This list uses the same layout style as the county club list with the player's usual name followed by the seasons he was active at county level and then his name in scorecard format with any useful notes in brackets.[1][2]
