Chandigarh Cricket Team History
The Chandigarh Cricket Team is a young squad, having only entered the Indian domestic cricket scene in the 2019-20 season. Despite their brief history, here’s a glimpse of their journey so far:
- Humble Beginnings (2019): The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced Chandigarh as one of ten new teams in August 2019. Former Indian cricketer V. R. V. Singh was appointed as their first coach.
- Debut Season (2019-20): The Chandigarh team marked their senior debut in the 2019-20 season, participating in three major tournaments: the Ranji Trophy (first-class cricket), the Vijay Hazare Trophy (List A cricket), and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (Twenty20 cricket). They started in the Ranji Trophy’s Plate Division, the bottom tier of the competition.
- Historic Moments (2019-20):
- First Century: Arslan Khan etched his name in history by scoring the first century for Chandigarh in a first-class match during their debut season.
- Landmark Match: Their Ranji Trophy fixture against Manipur in February 2020 became the 60,000th first-class cricket match ever played.
While Chandigarh is still a young team building its legacy, their entry has invigorated the cricketing scene in the Union Territory. With continued development and strong performances, they have the potential to climb the ranks of Indian domestic cricket in the coming years.
