Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association

What Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association does

Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) is the official state-level governing body for cricket in Madhya Pradesh, India, affiliated with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). It administers competitive cricket from grassroots (Inter-School, Inter-Club, Inter-District) through age-group state championships (U-13, U-15, U-19, U-23) to senior men's and women's teams that compete in BCCI domestic tournaments including the Ranji Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, and the Duleep Trophy. MPCA also organizes the Madhya Pradesh League (MPL) T20, a franchise-based competition with 10 men's and 5 women's teams.

The association's operational backbone is its owned venue network of 8 cricket grounds, anchored by two international-standard stadiums — Holkar Stadium in Indore (the headquarters, hosting India internationals) and the newly inaugurated Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior (opened June 2024, already hosted India vs Bangladesh T20I in October 2024). Supporting technology consists of a digital scoring and statistics database, a player registration and eligibility system, and structured academy and coach accreditation infrastructure. The Cricket Museum Indore, opened in July 2025, and a 200 KWP rooftop solar installation at Holkar Stadium signal ongoing infrastructure and ancillary-revenue diversification.

MPCA is structured as a non-profit association governed by elected office bearers and a managing committee under BCCI's constitutional framework. Revenue is generated from BCCI allocations, tournament hosting, sponsorship and advertising (including stadium and franchise rights), and player registration fees — though specific financials are not publicly disclosed. MPCA's customer base is effectively two-tier: BCCI as the principal institutional counterpart for domestic tournament hosting, and individual players and franchise stakeholders for state-level development and MPL participation. Recent competitive results include the Ranji Trophy 2021-22 championship, the Duleep Trophy 2025 (Central Zone), the Senior Women's One Day Trophy, and the National T20 Championship for the MP Girls' U-23 team.
