Manipur Cricket Team History
The Manipur cricket team is a young team in the grand scheme of Indian domestic cricket. Their official entry came in July 2018, when the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) included them alongside eight other new sides. This meant Manipur would compete in tournaments like the prestigious Ranji Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
Here’s a quick timeline of their journey so far:
- 2018: Officially formed and received a spot in major domestic tournaments.
- 2018-19 Season: Played their first matches, including their debut in the Vijay Hazare Trophy against Puducherry (resulting in a loss).
- 2018-19 Season: Participated in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, finishing sixth in their group with one win.
- 2019-20 Season: Made headlines in the Ranji Trophy for scoring a mere 27 runs in the first innings against Meghalaya.
- 2020 Season: Their match against Chandigarh became the landmark 60,000th first-class cricket match.
While they haven’t secured any major wins yet, Manipur’s cricketers are gaining valuable experience competing at the national level. Players like Rex Singh, the first cricketer from Manipur to be selected for the Indian U-19 team, are a testament to the state’s cricketing potential.
It will be interesting to see how Manipur progresses in the coming seasons and whether they can establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with in Indian domestic cricket.
