A brief history of Indian domestic cricket

Cricket is played in India in the beginning of 1721 - perhaps with the establishment of the Calcutta Cricket Club, with the establishment of the Calcutta Cricket Club, the first club was not established until 1792, where Eden Gardens is now standing, although its membership is of European people Was restricted to. Five years later, Bombay hosted their first match. And it was in Bombay that Indians started playing games first. At the end of the 18th century, Paras took Eton Ramblers, and in 1848 he formed the Orient Club. Since the tools were scarce and expensive, they used artists from the special European club, Bombay Gymkhana.

In 1877, the Parsi people defeated the European people, and with success success of tours of Australia and England. Fell through Australia, but in 1878 he went to England, winning one of 28 games; Two years later he made a comeback, out of which 31 out of 31 won, in which Mehlasa Parvi took 170 wickets out of 12.

In 1889 an amateur English side traveled to India. He played almost exclusively for the European side, but one of his halts was taking nine wickets against Parsi, Pavri. He returned in 1892 and faced two defeats in 20 matches - again lost to Parse. He also played an all India side, but the reality was that it was almost entirely like the European people. In 1895, competitive cricket started in India with the first European V Parsa match, a series known as Presidency matches.

The success of Ranji in England eliminated Kalpana, especially back home between his fellow prince. Many were sent from England to the coaches and a lot of money was looted to ensure that they could claim the best facilities. In 1907, Hindus joined the European and Parsi to make it a triangular contest and in 1912 Mohammedan also started taking part. In 1937, Christians and Jews combined for a side called The Rest, and the competition began to be known as Pentangular.

While this competition was the mainstay of the cricket calendar, in 1932, there was no real effort to launch a national competition till the Test debut of India. This first match at Lord's came two decades after India's first stages to achieve Test status. In 1911 and the All India side toured England under the Patiala empire - with moderate success - and by the end of the 1920s, the side's performance against MCC XI, led by Arthur Gilligan, convinced the ICC that they should be ready . 

One bottleneck was that there was no central body running the sport in India, and in 1928 the Board of Cricket Control came into existence. India had debuted its test in 1930-31, but due to the extreme nationalist sentiment and activity, the tour was canceled and hence it was in 18 months at Lord's and India became involved in the Test rankings.

In 1934, the BCCI started a national competition between "princes and princely states" and named after the great Indian athlete KS Ranjitsinhji of that time. The board also established inter-intercity tournaments. The first major stadium in 1936 - Brabourne, Lord's of India - opened in Bombay, which was the first of many giant plains.
