The Board of Control for Cricket in India, or BCCI, is the apex governing body for cricket in India, headquartered at Mumbai. The board was formed in December 1928 as the national governing body for all cricket in India. BCCI replaced Calcutta Cricket Club. It is a society, registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act. The BCCI often uses government-owned stadiums across the country at a nominal annual rent. It is a private club consortium. Basically to become a member of a state-level association, you need to be introduced by another member and also pay an annual fee. The state-level clubs select their representatives (secretaries) who in turn select the BCCI officials. As for any private club, BCCI or the state-level associations are not required to make their balance sheets public.

\"The cricket team selected by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) plays as the BCCI's team and not as a team representing the government of India -- there is no ambiguity here,\" says Ranbir Singh Mahendra, president-elect of the BCCI.
The Supreme Court rules that the BCCI is not a 'state' within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution. The SC says the government does not in any way exercise control over the BCCI's functions and administration.
\"We are pleased that the Supreme Court verdict has gone in our favour. I won't comment on who the cricket team represents,\" says Mahendra.
