Cricket was introduced to the Indian subcontinent by the English in the 17th and 18th centuries.[3] Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is the national governing body of cricket in India.[4] The BCCI was established on 1 December 1928 at Madras and joined the Imperial Cricket Conference in 1926 which later became the International Cricket Council.[5] [6] The captains of the national teams are appointed by BCCI and the India national cricket team selectors appointed by BCCI choose the other players for the national teams.
On 25 June 1932, India became the sixth nation to play test cricket and the men's cricket team was led by C. K.

Chinnaswamy Stadium at Bangalore on 31 October 1976.[14] Diana Edulji led India in its first WODI during the 1978 Women's Cricket World Cup against England on 1 January 1978 at Eden Gardens in Calcutta.[15] Mithali Raj captained India in the first WT20I on 5 August 2006 against England at Derby.[16]
