Its main home ground is Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. Home matches are also played at DRIEMS Ground in Cuttack, East Coast Railway Stadium in Bhubaneswar, Veer Surendra Sai Stadium in Sambalpur, KIIT Cricket Stadium in Bhubaneswar and other grounds.

The team's recent best performance in the Ranji Trophy came in the 2016–17 season, when they advanced to the quarter-final stage. They lost there to the eventual champions, Gujarat, whose opener Samit Gohel scored a record 359* in the first innings.^[1]

The Odisha cricket team is selected by the Odisha Cricket Association (OCA). The OCA organises the Odisha Premier League every year to promote cricket and search for local talent throughout the state.
