Indian domestic cricket is organised by the BCCI through a tiered system of state and zonal teams. Players from the North East zone, including states such as Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura and Sikkim, gained full Ranji Trophy participation after the BCCI extended first-class status to all North Eastern states in the 2018–19 season. The surname Saikia is most commonly associated with Assam, where cricket is administered by the Assam Cricket Association (ACA), based in Guwahati.
Saikia is recorded among Indian cricketers in the Wikidata reference dataset of Indian cricket players. Detailed match-by-match statistics and team affiliations are maintained by domestic cricket scoring bodies and the BCCI.
The expansion of the Indian domestic circuit in the late 2010s allowed a wider pool of cricketers from smaller and previously under-represented cricketing regions to compete at first-class, List A and Twenty20 levels. Players appearing in this period contributed to the broadening base of Indian competitive cricket beyond its traditional metropolitan centres.
