Calcutta Cricket Club and the Parsis of Bombay — Cricket in India, 1840s
Calcutta CC / Parsi cricketers (Bombay)
1848-12-01
Cricket in 1840s India was concentrated in two cities. In Calcutta the Calcutta Cricket Club, founded in 1792 (the second-oldest cricket club in the world after MCC), continued as a European-only institution. In Bombay the Parsi community, having watched cricket on the Esplanade for decades, took up the game seriously and founded the Oriental Cricket Club in 1848 — the first organised non-European cricket club outside Britain.
