The BCCI is an autonomous, private organisation and does not fall under the purview of the National Sports Federation of India.

Grant Govan was the first president and Anthony De Mello was the first secretary.[16] It joined the Imperial Cricket Conference in the year 1926.[17]

BCCI manages three squads that represent India in international cricket: the men's national cricket team, the women's national cricket team, and the national under-19 cricket team. It also governs the India A and India B teams. As part of its duties, the BCCI organizes and schedules matches to be played by each of these teams, and it schedules, sanctions and organises every season of domestic cricket of India.[18][19]

The first game of cricket was played in India by European sailors. They played it as a recreational activity in the early half of the 18th century. These sailors played Cricket near their settlement in coastal areas. The first recorded match in India was played between the British army and British settlers, in 1751. The world's second oldest cricket club, the Calcutta Cricket Club, was founded in 1792 in Calcutta. The Parsis were the first civilian community who took cricket as a sport and played it in India.[20] In 1848 they set up the Oriental Cricket Club in Bombay (present Mumbai). In 1850, they founded the Young Zoroastrian Cricket Club. In 1886, Hindu people founded Hindu Gymkhana, a sports club.[21]

In 1926, two representatives of the Calcutta Cricket Club travelled to London to attend meetings of the Imperial Cricket Conference, the predecessor to 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 to India, led by Arthur Gilligan, who had captained England in The Ashes.[citation needed]

In a meeting with the Maharaja of Patiala and others, Gilligan promised to press for its inclusion in the ICC if all the promoters of the game in the country came together to establish a single controlling body. An assurance was given,[by whom?] and a meeting was held in Delhi on 21 November 1927. This meeting was attended by delegates from Patiala, Delhi, United Provinces, Rajputana, Alwar, Bhopal, Gwalior, Baroda, Kathiawar, Central Provinces, Sindh and Punjab. A consensus was reached 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. In December 1928, the BCCI was formed. R E Grant Govan was elected as its first president and Anthony de Mello as secretary.[22]
