Arunachal Cricket Association is the governing body of the Cricket activities in the Arunachal Pradesh state of India and the Arunachal Pradesh cricket team. It is affiliated to the Board of Control for Cricket in India as full member.[1] [2]

History

In September 2007, Arunachal Cricket Association applied for BCCI's affiliation.[3] In October 2008, it got the BCCi's affiliation.[4] The Arunachal Pradesh cricket team played its first domestic match in December 2009 in Under-19 tournament. The teams faced infrastructure issues during its inception.[3]

In August 2010, the association faced corruption allegations regarding buying of land.[5] After Lodha Panel ordered "One state, one vote" reforms, north east states were expected to get play in the 2017–18 senior domestic season but BCCI ignored the reforms order.[6] [7] After long legal battle, in July 2018, BCCI granted the association full member status and the team made its senior-level debut in 2018–19 season.[8] In its debut season, the association received bribe offers for player selection.[9] In September 2019, as per the reforms, its elections were held and TC Tok was elected as the association's president.[10]
