KSCA - KARNATAKA STATE CRICKET ASSOCIATION

The Karnataka State Cricket Association (formerly the Mysore Cricket Association) is committed to develop Karnataka as the premier cricketing state in the country. It aims to take the game to mofussil areas of the state for development at the grassroots level and to continuously promote the welfare of players.

It was founded during the year 1933-34 and was affiliated to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The Association made steady progress from 1934 to 1959 when the Silver Jubilee was celebrated to coincide with the visit of the Australian team to Bangalore to play against the combined Universities XI.

In the late sixties the Association acquired its own cricket ground and the stadium now known as the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium came into being. Bangalore became a Test centre, and several memorable tests and ODIs, including the 1996 World Cup quarter-finals, have taken place here.

The Karnataka State Cricket Association has grown from strength to strength and today, is one of the best-organized State Cricket Associations in the country. The Association today has over 4000 members from diverse backgrounds.
