The Bombay Quadrangular Becomes a National Event — 1912 Onwards

The Bombay tournament — long contested between Europeans and Parsis — became a Triangular in 1907 with the addition of the Hindus, and a Quadrangular in 1912 with the addition of the Muslims. Through the 1910s it grew into the most important regular cricket event in India and the immediate precursor of all-India representative cricket.
