The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is the national governing body of Cricket in India,[13] its headquarter is situated at Cricket centre near Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.[14] The BCCI is the richest cricket governing body in the world and is part of the "Big Three" of international cricket, along with Cricket Australia and the England and Wales Cricket Board.[15][16]

The BCCI was formed in December 1928[dubious – discuss] and is a consortium of state cricket associations that select their own representatives who elect the BCCI president. Grant Govan was the first BCCI president and Anthony De Mello was its first secretary.[17] As of February 2023, Roger Binny is the incumbent BCCI president and Jay Shah is secretary.[18][19] The board joined the Imperial Cricket Conference in 1926.[2] The BCCI is an autonomous, private organisation that does not fall under the purview of the National Sports Federation of India and the Government of India has minimal regulation of it. The BCCI is influential in international cricket.[20][21][22] As such, it does not receive any grants or funds from the Ministry of Sports.[23]

The BCCI manages four squads that represent India in international cricket; the men's national cricket team, the women's national cricket team, the men's national under-19 cricket team and women's national under-19 cricket team. It also governs the developmental India A and India B teams. Its national selection committee, which is led by chief national selector, selects players for these teams.[lower-alpha 1] As part of its duties, the BCCI organises and schedules matches to be played by each of these teams, and schedules, sanctions and organises domestic cricket in India.[24][25][26]

The BCCI has hosted multiple ICC World Cups, and will host the 2023 Cricket World Cup, the 2026 ICC T20 World cup, the 2031 ICC ODI Cricket World Cup,[lower-alpha 2] and the 2025 Women's Cricket World Cup.[28][lower-alpha 3]

The first game of cricket was played in India by European sailors, who played the sport as a recreational activity in the first half of the 18th century. These sailors played cricket near their coastal settlements. The first recorded match in India was played between the British army and British settlers in 1751. The world's second-oldest cricket club, Calcutta Cricket Club, was founded in 1792 in present-day Kolkata. The Parsis were the first civilian community to accept cricket as a sport and play it in India.[29] In 1848, they set up the Oriental Cricket Club in present-day Mumbai. In 1850, they founded the Young Zoroastrian Cricket Club. In 1886, the Hindu Gymkhana sports club was founded.[30]

In 1912, an all-India cricket team visited England for the first time, and were sponsored and captained by the Maharaja of Patiala. In 1926, two representatives of Calcutta Cricket Club travelled to London to attend meetings of the Imperial Cricket Conference, the predecessor of the current International Cricket Council. Although technically not an official representative of Indian cricket, they were allowed to attend by Lord Harris, chairman of the conference. The outcome of the meeting was the MCC's decision to send a team that was led by Arthur Gilligan, who had captained England in The Ashes, to India.[citation needed]

Founding and early years

In a meeting with the Maharaja of Patiala and others, Gilligan promised to press for its inclusion in the ICC if all of the game's promoters in the country united to establish a single controlling body. An assurance was given[by whom?] and on 21 November 1927 a meeting was held in Delhi, which was attended by delegates from Patiala, Delhi, United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, Rajputana, Alwar, Bhopal, Gwalior, Baroda, Kathiawar, Central Provinces and Berar, Sindh and Punjab. The delegates agreed to create a board for control of cricket in India. On 10 December 1927, a unanimous decision to form a provisional board of control was taken, and the BCCI was formed in December 1928. R. E. Grant Govan was elected as its first president and Anthony de Mello was secretary.[31]

In 1926, the BCCI joined the Imperial Cricket Council, then the governing body for international cricket. In 1936, the BCCI started India's premier first-class cricket championship the Ranji Trophy, which was named after the first Indian person who played international cricket, the King of Nawanagar state K.S. Ranjitsinhji,[32] who played for England in international cricket. The Mumbai cricket team is the most-successful team, winning 41 titles.

CK Nayudu (In the 1930s), Indian former cricketer, Indian cricket team's first captain in Test cricket

In 1932, India played its maiden Test match under the captaincy of CK Naidu 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.[33] 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.[34]

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.[35] The former India captain Vijaya Ananda Gajapathi Raju, also known as Vizzy, was the BCCI president in the 1960s.[36]

In 1975, the BCCI paid ₹2,500 per match to the test cricketers. Banks, Indian railways and private enterprises would recruit players.[37]

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.

Main article: History of cricket in India from 1985–86 to 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.[39]

It hosted the ICC Cricket World Cup competitions in 1987 and 1996.[27][lower-alpha 4]

In 1991, BCCI proposed South Africa's readmission to international cricket at the International Cricket Council (ICC).[40] 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.[41] 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.[42][43] 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.[44][42] 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.[45]

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,[46] yielding the ICC a profit of $50 million.[45]

In 1997, Dalmiya became the president of the ICC.[46] With Dalmiya at the head of the ICC, the BCCI led a successful proposal to grant Test status to Bangladesh in 1999–2000.[47]

In 2008, the BCCI sold the ownership of eight city-based franchises to corporate groups and Bollywood celebrities in a closed auction for a total of US$723.49 million;[48] 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.[49] In 2010, the BCCI expanded the league to 10 teams, selling two new franchises for a total of US$703 million.[50] 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.[51][52]

In 2019, the BCCI recognised retired players' union the Indian Cricketers Association (ICA), which was formed after the Lodha committee's recommendation to form a indipendent organisation for welfare of nation's players. The BCCI also includes this union's representative in its and the IPL's governing apex council.[53]

It is one of the biggest sports leagues in the world.[62][63] 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.[64]

Controversies

Further information: Controversies involving the Indian Premier League §  Dispute with other cricket boards, India–Pakistan cricket rivalry, and India–Pakistan relations

From 2008, the BCCI banned Pakistani players from playing in the IPL due to Pakistan's involvement in 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks,[65][66][67] in which terrorist attack by Pakistan-trained terrorists killed 166 people died and injured 238. The attacks angered Indians.[68] 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.[69]

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 bilateral series against Pakistan without the Government of India's permission.[70] According to the Indian government, Pakistan sponsors, harbours and supports terrorist organisations, and trains terrorists.[71][72][73] In 2017, the Sports Minister of India, Vijay Goel said Pakistan should first stop sponsoring terrorists.[74][75]

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.[76]

Allegations, controversies and irregularities

Conflicts of interest

Main article: IPL's controversies

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.[77][76][18]

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.[78] Srinivasan courted further controversy for appointing India and Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni as a vice-president of India Cements.[79] 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-BCCI-unrecognised state association Bihar Cricket Association (BCA) filed a petition against the BCCI 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.[80] In 2015, the Supreme Court appointed the Lodha Committee and suspended Chennai Super Kings from the IPL for two years, and suspended Meiyappan from cricket activities for life.[81] 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 interest; the court also struck down the amendments of BCCI constitution that had allowed him to own and operate an IPL team.[citation needed]

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.[82][83]

Tax issues

Many times BCCI avoided paying government taxes. Once it claimed that it is a "charitable organisation" to avoide tax. It often brand itself as a Non government organisation (NGO).[84] In 2014, India's ministry of finance revealed that, there were as many as 213 cases of tax envisions by BCCI/IPL from 2009-10 to 2014, which involving 261.64 Cr rupees.[85] Till 2012, BCCI got exemption from tax under IT Act 1961 (section 11) but later Income tax department declared BCCI'S earnings as commercial and listed them as business income.[86] Whenever ICC organise a international event such as world cup in India, it ask BCCI to get tax exemptions from its government. During 2016 T20 world cup, Modi government gave them 10% exemption.[87] According to Deccan Herald 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.[88]

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.[89]

Reforms: 2017 Committee of Administrators

Further information: Lodha Committee

The BCCI has been criticised for its monopolistic practices, and has suffered from allegations of corruption and cronyism. [specify][which?][90] 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 reforms.[91] 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.[92][93][94]

The BCCI had consistently opposed its regulation by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA). On 9 August 2019, the BCCI agreed to adhere to the anti-doping mechanisms governed by the NADA.[95][96]

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.[97][98][99] 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.[100] 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.[101]

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.[102]

Sharma also alleged that lots of Indian players take injections to expedite their return in national team despite being 80 to 85% fit.[103] After few days Sharma resigned from his post.[104]

Further information: List of members of the Board of Control for Cricket in India

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).[118]

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.[119] 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.[120][121] Some of the recommendations that were implemented have since been reversed. In 2018, Railways, Services and Universities regained full membership;[122] 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.[121]
