The '''Bihar cricket team''' represents the state of [[Bihar]] in [[India]]n domestic [[cricket]] competitions. It is run by [[Bihar Cricket Association]].

==History==
===1936 to 2004===
The team competed in the [[Ranji Trophy]] from 1936-37 until 2003-04. When the state of Bihar was divided into two states, Bihar and [[Jharkhand]], most of the former state's cricket infrastructure was in Jharkhand, so [[Jharkhand cricket team|Jharkhand]] commenced playing in the Ranji Trophy, and the new smaller state of Bihar was no longer represented.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/wc-brings-in-focus-poor-state-of-cricketing-affairs-in-bihar/1/135547.html|title=It's definitely not cricket|website=India Today|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120918071458/http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/wc-brings-in-focus-poor-state-of-cricketing-affairs-in-bihar/1/135547.html|archive-date=18 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Balajee |first1=C.
