Cricket in India — Bombay's Quadrangular Begins to Take Shape, 1860s
European, Parsi and other Bombay cricket communities
1864-01-01
Cricket in Bombay through the 1860s was developing the communal structure that would eventually produce the famous Bombay Quadrangular — matches between European, Parsi, Hindu and Muslim sides that were the premier cricket events in India from the 1890s until independence. In the 1860s the key development was the Parsi cricket community's growth in strength and self-confidence, leading to their first systematic matches against the Bombay Gymkhana (the European side) and their first visit to England in 1886.
