Background
Cricket in India is administered by the BCCI, with state and regional associations operating beneath it. Players from the North East, including Manipur, became eligible to compete in senior BCCI domestic tournaments such as the Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy after the BCCI granted full membership to the North Eastern states ahead of the 2018–19 domestic season. Manipur Cricket Association is the recognised state body responsible for organising and selecting representative teams from the state.
Significance
Players from Manipur and other North Eastern states form part of a relatively new cohort of cricketers within the Indian domestic structure. Their participation in senior BCCI tournaments has contributed to the broadening of the talent base of Indian cricket beyond the traditionally dominant cricketing regions.
