The surname Sangma is most commonly associated with the Garo community of Meghalaya, a state in north-eastern India. Cricket in Meghalaya is administered by the Meghalaya Cricket Association (MCA), based in Shillong, which became a full member of the BCCI in 2018 alongside the cricket associations of other North-Eastern states such as Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim, as well as the Union Territory bodies. This expansion was a direct outcome of the recommendations of the Justice R. M. Lodha Committee on the reform of Indian cricket administration.
Following Meghalaya's elevation to full BCCI membership, the state began fielding teams in the principal national tournaments, namely the Ranji Trophy (first-class), the Vijay Hazare Trophy (List A) and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (Twenty20). Larry Sangma is recorded among the cricketers who have featured in this domestic circuit for Meghalaya.
The induction of Meghalaya and other North-Eastern teams into BCCI's senior domestic structure broadened the talent base of Indian cricket and created professional pathways for players from regions that previously lacked formal first-class representation. Players such as Larry Sangma form part of the first generations of cricketers to compete from these newly recognised state sides.
