- 'India's richest is easy to prove. See [1] or [2]. I guess 'one of the richest' follows from it. A Business standard opinion piece [ http://www.business-standard.com/common/storypage.php?storyflag=y&leftnm=lmnu5&leftindx=5&lselect=2&chklogin=N&autono=216635] says that 'BCCI is reckoned to be the richest cricket body in the world.' That should be sufficient for 'one of the richest'. Tintin (talk) 07:17, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

History
Although cricket was used to be played in India on a regular basis since 1792 and sporadically even before that when British soldiers introduced the game in the country, the concept of central control of the game as was available in England or Australia was never thought of seriously till the end of World War I in 1918. As standard of the game improved in India, the Calcutta Club formed during the days of the British East Company negotiated for a tour of India by an English side. The Imperial Cricket Conference (ICC - now the International Cricket Council) allowed two of the Club's Members to attend the meeting as representatives of India. This facilitated better interaction and led to visit of Marylebone Cricket Club MCC to India. The MCC, under its captain AER Gilligan, played a number of unofficial Tests in India and was greatly impressed by the standard of Indian cricket.In 1927. Mr. Gilligan is believed to have discussed the idea of formation of Cricket control Board for India with Messrs. R E Grant Govan of the Roshanara Club, Delhi, A S de' Mellow and the Maharaja of Patiala. A Provisional Board of Control was formed in December 1927 with its headquarters in Delhi. The said Board was assigned to form territorial associations for popularization of the game. Early in 1928, Messrs. Grant Govan and de’ Mellow went to England to discuss the entry of India into ICC. Nothing tangible resulted. Nevertheless, eight territorial associations were formed at a meeting in Mumbai in December 1928 and a representative Board of Control for Cricket in India was constituted with Mr. R E Grant Govan' as the first President and Mr. A S de’ Mello as the Honorary Secretary.
In 1929 BCCI got affiliated to ICC . International tours were arranged after that . The first one was India's tour of England in 1932.The team was led by CK Nayudu. The first National Cricket Championship was the Ranji Trophy in 1932
