Scott, I.M.S., who was a civil surgeon, Dr. H.K. Das, an assistant surgeon and founding secretary of the club; Sir Saiyid Saadullah, an eminent lawyer, and Khan Saheb Khalilur Rahman. Significantly, the club was essentially instrumental in introducing the coveted Bordoloi Trophy tournament, initially played at the Judges' Field from 1952 to 1957. Ranji Trophy cricket matches were also played at the same venue.[6]
