Background
Indian domestic cricket is administered by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and is organised through state and zonal associations. Players entering the senior domestic circuit typically progress through age-group cricket at the under-16, under-19 and under-23 levels before being selected for senior state sides that compete in tournaments such as the Ranji Trophy, the Vijay Hazare Trophy and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

Significance
The Indian domestic cricket structure provides the principal pathway to the India national cricket team and to franchise leagues such as the Indian Premier League. Cricketers active at the state and zonal level form the developmental base from which national selectors draw talent, and their records are maintained in scorecards published by the BCCI and partner statistical services.
