The Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA), headquartered in Indore, India, is the governing body of cricket in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh and the Madhya Pradesh cricket team.[1][2][3] The board was formed in 1940 as the Holkar Cricket Association.
It is one of the Cricket Governing provincial units affiliated with the Board of Control for Cricket in India.[4]
MPCA has been an affiliate of the BCCI since the 1940s.
In the recent past, MPCA has contributed to the careers of Indian cricketers like Col. C.K. Nayudu, Capt. Mushtaq Ali, Narendra Hirwani, Rajesh Chouhan, Amay Khurasiya, Naman Ojha, among others.
MPCA is a regular participant in all domestic tournaments conducted by the BCCI. MPCA is the only provincial unit in India that has two International venues under its control. Both venues have contemporary facilities for International cricket matches.
MPCA has hosted 22 One Day International games and 2 IPL matches. Before 2001, Nehru Stadium was the venue for hosting ODI as Indore. The first-ever Ranji Trophy final under floodlights was played at Capt. Roop Singh Stadium in April 1997. The India Vs West Indies ODI in December 2011 saw Virender Sehwag reach 219 runs.
MPCA was associated with two of the milestones in the cricketing career of Sachin Tendulkar. He scored his ten thousandth run during the ODI played at Indore against Australia in 2001 and became the first male cricketer to score a double century in ODI against South Africa at Gwalior in 2010.[5] Virender Sehwag made 219 runs in an ODI in 2011 against the West Indies in Indore.[6]
Before the Lodha Committee Reforms, the Association was led by Jyotiraditya M Scindia, Sanjay Jagdale and Milind Kanmadikar, who had to discontinue due to disqualification conditions as per Lodha Reforms.
