History

BVCI stands for one prime goal: that age is just a number. In a society where people are expected to start thinking of retirement at the age of forty and get a definite retirement by the age of sixty, BVCI starts the enrolment in teams from the age of forty. If you share a love of cricket the way we do, hop onto our nets, and start practising! After all, cricket is not a business but rather an emotion in our country. We have three age groups which will be our continued focus: 40+, 50+ and 60+ (golden squad).
