MAL will be looking to build on a successful 2010, when they won the Middlesex Sunday League Division Three title.
The team will play in Division Two of the MSCL, the Maccabi National Knockout Cup and Maccabi T20, which they have won for the last three seasons.
Gabriel Lebens will continue his role as skipper, with all-rounder Mark Landau vice-captain.
Looking ahead to the season, Landau said:"“We are keen to produce a much better showing in the national cup semi-final following last year’s disappointing semi-final defeat.
"We also hope to clinch promotion in the league and retain the T20 cup."
New signings include the father-and-son team of Andy and Sam Hillel, while David Marks returns following a stint at London Maccabi Vale.
There are high hopes for Yoav Lebens, last season’s JC Young Player of the Year, as well as Russell Corin, Pinty Baddiel and Landau who hope to contribute heavily with the bat.
With the ball, Grant Traub will again be a major threat with his slow left-armers. Yoni Schurder, Oscar Brodkin and Jon Begner will bring decent pace to a battery of seamers capable of good movement in the air and off the seam while left-arm seamer Anthony Cowan’s could pose a major threat.
