Bengal Cricket Team History
The Bengal cricket team boasts a rich history dating back to the late 19th century, although their official entry into first-class cricket came in 1935. Here’s a glimpse into their past:
Early Days (1880s-1920s):
- Cricket’s roots in Bengal can be traced back to the 1880s, emerging during the British Raj [colonial rule].
- The sport served as a social platform for interaction between Indians and the British, albeit with limitations.
- The Bengal Gymkhana, established in 1911, played a pivotal role in promoting cricket across the region.
- Teams sponsored by Maharajas also flourished, with some Maharajas even participating as players.
Formation of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) and Early First-Class Cricket (1920s-1940s):
- The CAB’s foundation in 1928 marked a significant step for organized cricket in Bengal.
- Though not part of the inaugural Ranji Trophy in 1934, Bengal achieved first-class status in 1935 by playing against the touring Australian team.
- Their first victory in the Ranji Trophy, India’s premier domestic first-class tournament, came in 1939.
Post-Independence and Consistent Performance (1940s-Present):
- Bengal has consistently been a strong contender in domestic tournaments.
- While they’ve clinched the Ranji Trophy twice (1939 and 1990), they hold the record for most runners-up finishes (13).
