The MIG Cricket Club is today one of the foremost cricket clubs in the city of Mumbai and plays in the 'A' division of the Dr. H. D. Kanga League. The Club has also won the Kanga League 'A' division title 3 times besides other tournaments.

The beginnings of the Club were small. In the early 70’s the club gained affiliation with the Mumbai Cricket Association and laid its first cricket turf at the playground next to MIG Colony.  Initially, the ground looked like a paddy field with a green patch at the center but the club management improved the ground over time and started playing its friendly and tournament matches at its own venue.  Till that time Khar Gymkhana was the only ground available in the suburbs for MCA tournaments.  With the addition of the club ground a popular venue became available to cricketers in suburbs.  This gave the club a status in the MCA’s register and made an impact on cricketing scene of the city.  During this time the club’s cricket team also made an impression of an upcoming team by winning some junior tournaments.

After affiliation to MCA in 1974, the club participated in the prestigious Kanga League Tournament.  In 1975 and the very first year of its participation, after qualifying to play the league, earned promotion from the last ‘G’ division to  ‘F’ division, the heroes of success were Shri. Avinash Parkar, Late Manu Sakhalkar, Shri. Dilip Ghokale, Shri. Suresh Waran, Shri. Ashok Sonawane and others.  However, the club team struggled for next 10 years to get its next promotion in 1984 and continued its progress well to reach the ‘A’ division in 1993 while winning the championship of ‘E’ & ‘C’ division in 1987 and 1991 respectively.

A new cricket turf wicket was prepared on the new playground and none other than another cricketing legend, the late Shri Vijay Hazare, inaugurated the new ground on 4^th August 1996.  The new playground with its surroundings became very popular with senior cricketers and it became a regular venue for the senior tournament matches including  ‘A’ division Times Shield and even the Board matches.  In the very next year in 1997, the Golden Jubilee year of Independence and also of the Dr. H. D. Kanga Cricket League, the Club’s cricket team achieved its maiden triumph by winning the ‘A’ division of the league and followed it with its maiden triumph by winning the prestigious “Purshottam Shield Cricket Tournament” .  The cricket team till date has achieved 3 championships wins of the ‘A’ division of Kanga League in its tenure in the ‘A’ division since 1993 and practically all the Senior & Junior Club tournaments conducted under the auspices of Mumbai Cricket Association.

The dream of the club to stage a first class match at the club ground was achieved before the end of the year 2000. On 23^rd December 2000, the Mumbai-Baroda Ranji Trophy tie was witnessed by thousands of cricket fans when Tendulkar faced the new pace sensation Zaheer Khan supported by young Irfan Pathan who was very soon emerging as India’s pace sensation. Also playing was India ’s stumper, Nayan Mongia behind the stumps, in the company of Vinod Kambli, Vassim Jaffer, Ajit Agarkar  Samir Dighe and others. The match was a great cricketing encounter as Nayan Mongia saved the match for Baroda with last man Rakesh Patel holding the fort for the last two overs from Agarkar and Tendulkar who scored the only hundred in the match. 

The match gave the status to the club of being the fifth “FIRST CLASS VENUE” of the city of Mumbai after Brabourne, Wankhede Stadium, Bombay Gymkhana & R.C.F.  The ground is now used regularly for Board matches for Ranji Trophy as well as other tournaments.  The Women’s Cricket Association of India played their World Cup and other One Day International matches at the club ground.  Today the club has become one of the best cricketing institutions with its own cricket academy and conduct of two major tournaments,  “The Padmakar Talim Shield” and “The Young Comrade Shield” and a suburban tournament “The Mahim-Dadar Challenge Shield” . The cricketing image of the club has taken the club to great height and has given status of one of the best sporting institutions of the city of Mumbai .
