This list is far too long. Over 140 names is ridiculous: could someone with knowledge of which of these people played the most significant roles for League clubs please cut it down to a sensible size? I'd have thought 50 should be the absolute maximum, and even then a two-column format would be better. Loganberry ( Talk) 00:29, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
I think the full list of test (and in rare cases, such as Gus Mackay, one day international players) who have appeared in the league should stay. It shows how prestigious the league has been and the remarkable number of international players who have appeared in it over the years. If anything i'd like to see the list added to. Only including those players who'd played a specific number of seasons in the league would involve a great deal of extra research and is in my eyes an un-necessary task.

If the League was indeed founded in 1888 as the article states, that would mean that the Netherlands Topklasse (dating from 1884) predates it by 4 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankieGommer ( talk • contribs) 14:53, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
I see that the list has been deleted, to me the huge number of internationals that have played in the league over the years is a very important part of the history and prestige of the Birmingham League, if it needs seven million links to play-cricket websites adding to prove that said players played in the league and for said clubs, then I'm happy to spend some time this winter adding such links (where they exist, i.e. since about 2001) Eddsnake ( talk) 16:20, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
