History
2021 season
In first season of Kashmir Premier League, they finished with 3 wins and 2 losses from 5 matches in the group stage. They came third and qualified for the 1st eliminator. Although they defeated Overseas Warriors in the 1st eliminator, they lost the 2nd eliminator to eventual champions, Rawalakot Hawks, even though they scored the highest total in KPL history, it was chased down thanks to a century from Kashif Ali which meant that Mirpur were knocked out of the tournament.[5][6][7][8]
2022 season
In July 2022, Shoaib Malik was retained by Mirpur Royals as their icon player.
