The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is a private autonomous organization that acts as the principal national governing body of cricket in India. It is not owned by any government entity and does not receive grants from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports. Instead, it is a consortium of state cricket associations, with representatives from these associations electing the BCCI president. Therefore, ownership lies collectively with these member associations rather than a single individual or entity. The BCCI controls a vast revenue stream and operates independently in managing cricket affairs in India.
