Cricket in India — The Bombay Gymkhana and the Parsi Challenge, 1850s
European clubs vs Parsi CC, Bombay
1850-01-01
Through the 1850s cricket was firmly established in Bombay among the British garrison and civil service, but the decade's most significant development was the growing interest of the Parsi community. The Parsi Cricket Club of Bombay, established in 1848, organised regular matches against European sides through the 1850s and produced the first non-European cricketers to be taken seriously as opponents by the colonial establishment.
