Mumbai cricket team is the most-successful team, winning 41 titles.

In 1932, India played its maiden Test match under the captaincy of C. K.
Nayudu against England at Lord's cricket ground in London. During
England's 1933-34 tour of India, on 17 December 1933, Lala Amarnath
became the first Indian batsman to score a test century, scoring 118 on
his debut, at Bombay Gymkhana.[35] In 1967–68, India won its first-ever
Test cricket series outside Asia. Previously it had defeated Pakistan, New
Zealand and England, and won series in India.[36]

1945–1987

In 1952, the England team toured India; it was their first tour of India
after its Independence. Nigel Howard was the captain of touring team.[37]

In 1975, the BCCI paid ₹2,500 per match to the test cricketers. Banks,

Indian railways and private enterprises would recruit players.[39]

The board appointed Ajit Wadekar captain in 1971, the Indian team won
their first test series against England on English soil, and against the West Indies, Sunil Gavaskar
made his test debut in latter series.

India won the 1983 Cricket World Cup, defeating the defending champions the West Indies by 43
runs in the final at Lord's. India also won the World Championship of Cricket in 1985, defeating
Pakistan by eight wickets in the final at Melbourne Cricket Ground. The BCCI hosted the 1987
World Cup; it was the first time the event was organised outside England.[40]

1987–2000

Through the 1980s and early 1990s, BCCI paid ₹5 lakh per match to terrestrial television network
Doordarshan to broadcast the Indian cricket team's matches.[41]

It hosted the ICC Cricket World Cup competitions in 1987 and 1996.[29][d]

In 1991, BCCI proposed South Africa's readmission to international cricket at the International
Cricket Council (ICC).[42] After the proposal succeeded, the BCCI sold television broadcast rights
for the first time; South African Broadcasting Corporation purchased the rights to broadcast the
South African cricket tour of India, South Africa's first official international tour after the 21-year
boycott from international cricket.[43] During this time, South Africa joined the "Asian bloc" of the
BCCI and its South-Asian neighbours.

In 1993, the BCCI signed a deal with TransWorld International (TWI), which would pay the BCCI
to televise England's tour of India on satellite television and Doordarshan would pay TWI for the
rights to televise the matches in India.[44][45] The 1993 Hero Cup was broadcast on Star TV, which
made it the first cricket series to be broadcast on satellite television in India and broke the
monopoly of Doordarshan.[46][44] A lengthy legal battle between Doordarshan and the BCCI—

which was led by Jagmohan Dalmiya and president I. S. Bindra—ensued. In February 1995, the
Supreme Court of India ruled the television rights of India's matches were a commodity belonging
to the BCCI, for which the broadcaster must pay BCCI and not the other way around.[47]

BCCI, in a joint bid with Pakistan and Sri Lanka, won the rights to host the 1996 Cricket World
Cup, defeating the England-and-Australia bloc. The tournament was a commercial success,[48]
yielding the ICC a profit of $50 million.[47]

In 1997, Dalmiya became the president of the ICC.[48] With Dalmiya at the head of the ICC, the
BCCI led a successful proposal to grant Test status to Bangladesh in 1999–2000.[49]

21st century

Since 2000, the BCCI has hosted and organised multiple ICC cricket World Cups competitions that
is men's 2011 ODI world cup,[e] 2016 and 2021 T20 world cups;[f] 2013, 2016 Women's Cricket
world cups.

In 2007, the BCCI established the Indian Premier League (IPL), an annual, franchise-based,
Twenty20 cricket league. In 2008, the BCCI sold the ownership rights of eight city-based
franchises to corporate groups and Bollywood celebrities in a closed auction for a total of
US$723.49 million;[50] it also sold the tournament's global media rights for 10 years to World
Sport Group for US$1.03 billion. The media deal was re-negotiated the following year to $1.6
billion.[51] In 2010, the BCCI expanded the league to 10 teams, selling two new franchises for a
total of US$703 million.[52] Due to the IPL's commercial success, similarly styled Twenty20
leagues appeared around the world, as did franchise-based leagues in other sports in India.[53][54]

In 2014, the BCCI, Cricket Australia and the England and Wales Cricket Board seized control of
several of the ICC's key committees to form the "Big Three". The foundation of the "Big Three"
would result in a complete remodelling of world cricket, with India, England, and Australia now
commanding most of cricket's revenue for the foreseeable future.[55]

In 2019, the BCCI recognised retired players' union the Indian Cricketers' Association (ICA), which
was formed after the Lodha committee's recommendation to form an independent organisation for
welfare of nation's players. The BCCI also includes this union's representative in its and the IPL's
governing apex council.[56]

On 14 February 2022, BCCI laid foundation stone for new National Cricket Academy (NCA) at
Bengaluru.[57]

Women's cricket
India women's national cricket team represents India in Women's international cricket. It played
its first Women's Cricket World Cup in 1978, when it was first held in India. Diana Edulji was the
first captain of the Indian women's cricket team in One Day Internationals (ODIs). The Indian
women's team have played in the finals of the 2005 and 2017 World Cup competitions in South
Africa and in England, respectively.

Women's Cricket World Cup tournaments in 1978, 1997 and 2013 were held in India.[59]

In 2007, the governing body of women's cricket in


India the Women's Cricket Association of India was
merged into the BCCI after the International
Women's Cricket Council merged into ICC in
2006.[60]

On 28 October 2022, BCCI secretary Jay Shah


announced it would pay equal sums of money to
women's team players as it pays to men's team's
players. The BCCI pays men ₹15 lakh for Test

On 30 January 2023, India U19 women's team won their inaugural T20 World Cup, defeating
England in the final.[64]

Indian Premier League


In 2008, the BCCI launched a Twenty20 franchise cricket league, the Indian Premier League (IPL),
which has grown to become the world's most-lucrative cricket league, attracting many of the
world's top players. It is one of the biggest sports leagues in the world.[65][66] The IPL is the BCCI's
major revenue source and is the only league to have a special window in ICC Future Tours
Programme (ICC FTP), meaning very little international cricket is organised during the
tournament.[67]

In 2023 BCCI sold IPL's media rights for record breaking $6.02 bn for the period of 2023–27.[68]

There are 10 teams in IPL, BCCI organise the tournament annually during summer in March–May
in various stadiums in India.[68]

Controversies

From 2008, the BCCI banned Pakistani players from playing in the IPL due to Pakistan's
involvement in the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks,[69][70][71] in it Pakistan trained terrorists slain
166 people and injured 238. The attacks angered Indians.[72] In 2012, the BCCI advised its IPL
franchises not to buy any Pakistani players. It was wary of several issues; their off-field
misdemeanours and spot-fixing allegations against them.[73]

From 2012, BCCI opposed holding any bilateral series with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). India
plays against Pakistan only in ICC and ACC multinational events. Many times, the PCB urged BCCI
to play bilateral series but BCCI rejected them. According to the BCCI, India cannot not play any

bilateral series against Pakistan without the Government of India's permission.[74] According to
the Indian government, Pakistan sponsors, harbours and supports terrorist organisations, and
trains terrorists.[75][76][77] In 2017, the Sports Minister of India, Vijay Goel said Pakistan should
first stop sponsoring terrorists.[78][79]

BCCI pays 10 percent from the salary of every foreign player to their respective national board. In
2022, the Australian Cricketers' Association expressed their unhappiness about these
payments.[80]

Allegations, controversies and irregularities

Conflicts of interest

The BCCI's former president N. Srinivasan was criticised for his alleged biased behaviour towards
some state boards by awarding them ODI, Test and T20 matches while in office, possibly in
violation of the board's rotation policy on venues.[81][80][19]

During Srinivasan's tenure as its treasurer, the BCCI constitution was amended to allow him to buy
a franchise through his company India Cements during the 2008 IPL Team Auction.[82] Srinivasan
courted further controversy for appointing India and Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra
Singh Dhoni as a vice-president of India Cements.[83] Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath
Meiyappan, who was also closely associated with Chennai Super Kings, was arrested for alleged
involvement in Spot-fixing and betting. Then unrecognised state association Bihar Cricket
Association (BCA) by BCCI, filed a petition against it for mismanagement and conflict of interest in
its investigation of 2013 IPL corruption scandal. In 2013, Mumbai police arrested the Indian
cricket team's regular player S. Sreesanth, other players and IPL team owners of Chennai Super
Kings and Rajasthan Royals for their dealings with the illegal betting industry.[84] In 2015, the
Supreme Court appointed the Lodha Committee suspended Chennai Super Kings from the IPL for
two years, and suspended Meiyappan from cricket activities for life.[85] In 2013, Rupa
Gurunath—N Shrinivasan's daughter and Gurunath Meiyappan's wife—who was then president of
Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, was found guilty of conflict of interest by the BCCI's ethics officer
Justice D.K. Jain. In 2015, the Supreme Court of India barred Srinivasan from the BCCI for
contesting elections due to his conflict of interests; the court also struck down the amendments of
BCCI constitution that had allowed him to own and operate an IPL team.

The BCCI does not allow its contracted, non-contracted, national and domestic players to
participate in any cricket leagues abroad. Only players who have retired from all formats of Indian
cricket can take part in foreign leagues. Players such as Adam Gilchrist have questioned this policy.
Indian players such as Suresh Raina and Robin Uthappa have urged the board to allow non-
contracted players like them to participate in foreign leagues.[86][87]

Tax evasions

Many times BCCI avoided paying government taxes. Once it claimed that it is a "charitable
organisation" to avoide tax. It many times disguises itself as a Non government organisation
(NGO).[88] In 2014, Ministry of finance revealed that, there were as many as 213 cases of tax
envisions of BCCI/IPL from 2009–10 to 2014, involving 261.64 Cr rupees.[89] Till 2012, BCCI got

Board of Control for Cricket in India - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_Control_for_Cricket_in_India

exemptions for tax under the IT Act 1961 (section 11) but later Income tax department declared
BCCI'S earnings as commercial and listed them as business incomes.[90] Whenever ICC organises
an international event such as world cup in India, it asks BCCI to get tax exemptions from its
government. During 2016 T20 world cup, Modi government gave them 10% exemption.[91]
According to Deccan Herald's article on 19 December 2021, even though BCCI is one of the worlds'
richest sports body and earns thousands of crore rupees per year, it shows unwillingness to pay
income tax and finds loopholes in law to avoid paying taxes.[92]

Politicians on the board

Politicians from multiple political parties have held positions within BCCI; Sharad Pawar of the
Nationalist Congress Party, Madhavrao Scindia of the Indian National Congress and Anurag
Thakur of Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) were BCCI presidents, As of 2023, latter's brother Arun
Singh Dhumal is the IPL chairman. As of 18 October 2022, Jay Shah, the son of the Home Minister
of India Amit Shah, is BCCI's secretary. Rajiv Shukla of the Congress party who is associated with
the BCCI from more than a decade is its vice-president and Ashish Shelar of BJP is its treasurer.[93]

Reforms: 2017 Committee of Administrators

The BCCI has been criticised for its monopolistic practices, and has suffered from allegations of
corruption and cronyism.[94] On 30 January 2017, The Supreme Court of India nominated a four-
member 'Committee of Administrators' composed of Vinod Rai, Ramachandra Guha, Vikram
Limaye and Diana Edulji to administer the BCCI to implement Lodha Committee's reforms.[95]
Vinod Rai, a retired civil servant and the former Comptroller and Auditor General of India, led the
committee, which administered the board until elections could be conducted.[96][97][98]

Many years BCCI consistently opposed to adhere regulations of the National Anti-Doping Agency,
India (NADA). On 9 August 2019, it agreed to adhere the anti-doping mechanisms governed by the
NADA.[99][100]

Rebel league

The rebel league the Indian Cricket League (ICL) was owned and operated by Essel Group. BCCI
banned Indian players who played in the ICL, including Hemang Badani, Dinesh Mongia, Rohan
Gavaskar and Ambati Rayudu, but later gave amnesty to these players and lifted theirs bans after
they ended their ties with the ICL.[101][102][103] The BCCI blacklisted Essel Group company Zee
Entertainment Enterprises due to this league, and expelled it from the BCCI in 2021. Zee was
prohibited from buying BCCI's media rights.[104] In 2006, the BCCI sold the Indian cricket team's
media rights to Zee for the 2006-11 period but after Essel Group initiated the ICL, the BCCI
terminated this deal. Zee fought a long legal battle with the BCCI; on 12 March 2018, a tribunal
headed by three judges found BCCI guilty and asked them to pay Zee ₹140 crores for losses. The
tribunal found blacklisting of Zee by BCCI was illegal and said in judgement; "To us it seems that
BCCI was exploiting its dominating position in respect of game of cricket in India" and also added
Zee and its affiliated companies to the blacklist and banning them from participating in the BCCI
bidding process was illegal.[105]

Virat Kohli sacking

In 2021 BCCI sacked Virat Kohli from ODI captaincy, then President Ganguly told media that we
asked him to remain captain but he said he does not want. After that Kohli took a press conference
and revealed that BCCI did not tell him to remain captain. In February 2023, in a sting operation
by a news agency, chief-selector Chetan Sharma, revealed that actually Kohli was lying and in fact
Ganguly had told him to remain as captain in the meeting in front of all the selectors. According to
him Virat Kohli was considering himself bigger than BCCI and wanted to teach a lesson to the
President of BCCI. He also revealed that after Kohli resigned from T20 captaincy, BCCI decided to
sack him from ODI captaincy also because they did not wanted two separate captains for limited
overs format.[106]

Sharma also alleged that lots of Indian players take injections to expedite their return in national
team despite being 80 to 85% fit.[107] After few days Sharma resigned from his post.[108]

Organisation

Constitution

The BCCI is governed by its constitution. The board has been prohibited by the Supreme Court of
India from amending its own constitution without its approval.[109]

Headquarters

The BCCI's headquarters is located at the Cricket Centre within the premises of the Mumbai
Cricket Association at Wankhede Stadium in Churchgate, Mumbai, where it occupies three floors
of a four-floor building.[110]

Legal status

According to the BCCI, it is an autonomous body and does not receive any grants or funding from
the Indian government. In 2004, in the Supreme Court of India, the BCCI's lawyers said the Indian
cricket team is "the official team of BCCI and not the official team of India". The lawyers also said
the BCCI "do not even fly the national flag" and that it never "uses any national emblem in the
activities of the Board". The BCCI recommends its players for prestigious awards such as the
Arjuna award but says it is not a national sports federation.[111] The BCCI is registered as a society
in Tamil Nadu under the societies registration act and it denies coming under Article 12 of Indian
constitution. Since its foundation, the BCCI has not been sanctioned by Government of India;
without sanction it started as a national governing body of cricket in India and as a sole
representative of India in international cricket.[112]

Logo

The BCCI's logo is derived from the Star of India emblem. According to Information
Commissioner Sridhar Acharyulu, the logo was designed by the British Raj in 1928. It is 90%

8 of 32 01-Jun-23, 12:39 PM
Board of Control for Cricket in India - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_Control_for_Cricket_in_India

similar to the Star of India.[113][114] The BCCI was alleged to use British Raj emblem without prior
permission from Government of India and it is an offence under the Emblem and Names
(Prevention of Improper Use) Act, 1950.[112]

Anti-Corruption Unit

The BCCI has a special anti-corruption unit that is responsible for preventing malpractice in cricket
within India.[115][116] This unit is responsible for investigating unlawful activities such as betting,
spot-fixing, match-fixing and corrupt approaches to players.[117] Shabir Hussein has been the head
of this unit since April 2021 .[118]

Ethics officer

Former Indian Supreme Court judge Vineet Saran is the BCCI's incumbent ethics officer and
ombudsman. He was appointed in June 2022.[119] The board created this ethics officer post in 2017
due to increasing complaints of conflict of interest in the board's office holders, employees and
associated people. The officer reviews complaints of conflict of interest.[120]

Anti-Doping unit

Dr. Abhijit Salvi is the head of BCCI's anti doping unit. NADA sends qualified doctors to collect
blood and urine sample of players and later analyse it in lab to find out performance-enhancing
drugs or steroids in blood. After that BCCI takes appropriate actions if found doing violations.[121]

Affiliated members

Membership of the Board of Control for Cricket in India consists of full members and associate
members; only full members have voting rights in annual general meetings (AGMs).[122]

Following the Lodha Committee's recommendations in 2015, full membership was restricted to
state and union territory associations, and limited to one representative body per state.
Subsequently, several state associations became full members and, because the states of Gujarat
and Maharashtra each had three members, Mumbai, Baroda, Saurashtra and Vidharbh were
relegated to associate membership.[123] Neither the Cricket Club of India of Mumbai nor the
National Cricket Club of Kolkata field teams in major domestic tournaments but as founding
members of BCCI, they had full voting rights until the Lodha Committee recommendations were
implemented.[124][125] Some of the recommendations that were implemented have since been
reversed. In 2018, Railways, Services and Universities regained full membership;[126] and in 2022,
the rule restricting states to a single full member was removed, meaning Mumbai, Baroda,
Saurashtra and Vidharbh once again became full members.[125]

Television production

In 2012, the BCCI established its own production house. The BCCI's broadcast service produces
coverage of international matches of the Indian national cricket team those held in India; and
matches of leading domestic tournaments including the IPL. Until 2012, the BCCI paid the
production costs to the company who purchased the media rights from them. Nimbus
Communications did production for the BCCI for many years.[146] The BCCI's production house
holds production rights and copyrights of Indian cricket's content.[147] The BCCI broadcasts video
highlights of domestic and bilateral cricket series in India on its website.[148]

Earnings and influence

Finances

The BCCI is a private entity; it does not depend on the Government of India for its finances.[149] In
2020, with US$405 million out of US$1,534 million, India had 26% share in the ICC FTP income
disbursed to 10 Test playing nations, while the England and Wales Cricket Board received US$139
million as the second-highest earner.[150] In the same year, to refinance other boards after the
global economic decline and the significantly reduced income of most boards due to the COVID-19
pandemic, the ICC changed its FTP schedule to organise more international matches with
India.[150]

ICC will share 38.5% of its total annual income with BCCI from 2023 to 2027, the board could earn
$1.15 bn plus in this cycle. BCCI will receive biggest share of ICC's income than any other board.[28]

Influence in the cricketing world

The BCCI is regarded as cricket's big economic player.[151] In 2009, the ICC and BCCI were in
disagreement over the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) "whereabouts" clause.[152]

Income

In financial year (FY) 2019–2020, the BCCI's total annual income was estimated to be over
₹3,730 crore (US$535 million), including ₹2,500 crore (US$345 million) from the IPL, ₹950 crore
(US$139 million) from bilateral cricket with other nations, and ₹380 crore (US$51 million per year
or total US$405 million for eight years) from India's share of ICC revenue.[150]

12 of 32 01-Jun-23, 12:39 PM
Board of Control for Cricket in India - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_Control_for_Cricket_in_India

ICC income share

In 2020, as per the present eight-year Future Tours Program (FTP), India receives US$405 million
from the ICC, as contrasted with US$139 million to the England and Wales Cricket Board, while
US$128 million for each of Cricket Australia, Cricket South Africa, Pakistan Cricket Board, New
Zealand Cricket, Sri Lanka Cricket, Cricket West Indies and Bangladesh Cricket Board, and US$94
million for Zimbabwe.[150]

From 2023 to 2027, ICC will share 38.5% of its annual revenue with BCCI.[28]

Media rights

In 2018, satellite broadcaster Star India won the BCCI's exclusive media rights for the years
2018–2023. Star India won the rights to broadcast Indian cricket team's matches on their
television channels, and rights to broadcast on Disney+ Hotstar for ₹6,138.10 crore.

On average, Star Sports pays ₹60.1 crore per match to the BCCI.[153] The deal also include rights to
broadcast men's domestic tournaments such as the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Ranji Trophy, Irani Cup,
Duleep Trophy and Mushtaq Ali Trophy; and women's international cricket matches in India on
Star Sport and Disney+ Hotstar.

The IPL is the BCCI's largest source of income by medium of media rights. From 2018 to 2022,
global rights were awarded to Star India for ₹16,347.5 crore (US$2.0 billion).[154] In 2022, BCCI
sold IPL media rights for ₹48,390 crore, comprising television rights of ₹23,575 crore and digital
rights of ₹20,500 crore, which were won by Disney and Viacom18 respectively. This deal includes
410 matches from 2023 to 2027. Viacom 18 won the exclusive digital rights for the Indian
subcontinent and for streaming to the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa; while Times
Internet won global streaming rights in the Middle East, North Africa and the United States. Due
to this deal, the IPL became the second-richest league in the world behind National Football
League (NFL).[155]

Sponsorship rights

Star India is the official broadcaster of BCCI. Adidas is kit sponsor (from June), Byju's is team
sponsor, Mastercard is title sponsor for all the bilateral series in India and for all the domestic
tournaments. Dream 11, Ambuja and Hyundai are official partners.[156]

Bangalore, which occupies 40 acres (16 ha) of land near an airport. On completion, it will have
three cricket grounds, 40 practice pitches, residential rooms, a swimming pool and a gymnasium.
Construction will cost ₹200 crore.[159]

In March 2020, then BCCI President Sourav Ganguly donated ₹51 crore to the PM CARES Fund to
combat the COVID-19 pandemic.[160] In May 2021 media reported that the BCCI would donate

more than 25 International Test match for the nation. The board gives ₹15,000 pensions to the
players who played in the Ranji Trophy before the 1957-to-1958 season.[164] In 2013, the BCCI gave

Taxation payments

In 2018, ₹472.22 crore of tax was outstanding on 1 April 2018; this sum was cleared along with
interest in September 2018 but the Department of Revenue issued a notice for tax evasion to the
BCCI. The Department of Revenue asked the BCCI for another outstanding income-tax payment of
₹1,303 crore, according to details submitted by the Finance Ministry in Parliament in February
2019.[168]

In 2007–08, although the Income Tax Department withdrew this exemption, BCCI only paid tax
amounting to ₹41.9 crore (US$5.2 million) against its tax liability of ₹413 crore (US$52 million) in
the 2009–2010 financial year[169]

In 2012, BCCI paid no taxes on its income, claiming exemption as a charitable organisation.[170]

protagonist Arjun (Nani) aspires to play for the India national cricket team and in the Ranji
Trophy.[171]
▪ This organisation was mentioned in M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016) Bollywood film.
▪ The BCCI was a major talking point in comedian Hasan Minhaj's "Cricket Corruption" episode
on the "Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj". In "Cricket Corruption", Minhaj claims that the growth of
Indian cricket is suppressing cricket's inclusivity and accessibility to fledgling nations (these are
referred to as "Associate Members" by the ICC). He even opines that the financial successes
of the IPL have launched the BCCI to a position where they now transcend the ICC in global
cricketing power and influence.[172]
▪ The BCCI was featured in Kabir Khan's 83 (2021), which is a Hindi-language sports drama film
that chronicles India's against-all-odds victory in the 1983 Cricket World Cup. Albeit not by any
