Usage notes
Founded in 1928 and headquartered in Mumbai. It is registered as a private society rather than a government body, although the Supreme Court of India ordered governance reforms in 2016 after the Lodha Committee report. India's men won the T20 World Cup in 2024 and the Champions Trophy in 2025.
