Cricket’s Roots in India British sailors introduced cricket to India in the early 1700s. As the sport’s popularity grew, it led to the establishment of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 1928. India’s debut Test match against England in 1932 marked its entry into international cricket.
