The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was formed in 1928.
It is the governing body for cricket in India and is responsible for organizing and managing all cricketing activities in the country.
The primary objectives of the BCCI include the promotion and development of cricket in India,
- organizing domestic and international matches, and ensuring the smooth functioning of the sport at all levels.
It plays a critical role in representing Indian cricket on the global stage, especially in international cricketing forums.
The BCCI became a full member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1965, giving it a significant role in international cricket governance.
The board has since been instrumental in shaping modern cricket, particularly with the rise of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008,
- which has revolutionized the format and commercial aspects of the game.
