Chhattisgarh cricket team is a cricket team from the state of Chhattisgarh, India.

The team will play in Indian domestic tournaments including the Ranji Trophy from the 2016–17 season. The team is managed by Chhattisgarh State Cricket Sangh which was granted the full-member status by the Board of Control for Cricket in India in February 2016. The team is yet to make its first-class cricket debut but came close to play.^[1]

History

In 2013/14, Chhattisgarh Under-16 and Under-25 teams finished at the bottom of their respective groups in the Vijay Merchant Trophy's zonal league and CK Nayudu Trophy's plate league, respectively. Their Under-19 team, however, finished third in their group in the Cooch Behar Trophy plate league and missed qualifying for the semi-finals of the lower tier by a whisker.^[2]

According to the BCCI regulations, an associate member can be promoted as a full member if the said member is an Associate Member for a continuous period of five cricketing seasons, and such a member satisfies the board that the game in its jurisdiction has reached a standard justifying its participation in the national tournament of Ranji Trophy.^[3]

Full membership

Chhattisgarh gained associate member status in 2008, and was given full membership in February 2016. This meant that Chhattisgarh would participate in the domestic tournaments (Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy) from the 2016-17 season. Chhattisgarh will play in the Group C of the Ranji Trophy, taking the number of teams in the group to 10. CSCS secretary Rajesh Dave expects Ashutosh Singh, Harpreet Singh, Jalaj Saxena, Jatin Saxena (all Madhya Pradesh), Abhimanyu Chauhan, Sahil Gupta (both Baroda) and Bhima Rao (Railways) to play for the new Chhattisgarh team, along with India under-19 cricketer Amandeep Khare.^[4]
