The Cricket Club of India is more than a club. It is an institution built on tradition, sporting excellence, camaraderie and a deep sense of belonging.
We believe CCI must evolve with the times while protecting everything that makes it special.

Your Club. Your Voice. Our Commitment.
Nine commitments
With the support of the existing members, EC members and administration.
Our objective is not merely to manage the club for the next term. Our responsibility is to build an institution that is stronger, more transparent, more professionally managed and better equipped for the next two decades.
Transparency & Accountability
No secrets. No selective disclosure.
You will be able to see what we decide, and whether we delivered it.
- Regular updates from the Executive Committee — decisions, developments and what is coming next.
Members’ Voices & Opinions
The club belongs to its members. Their voices must shape its future.
You will not have to wait for the AGM to be heard.
- Regular Open Houses where you raise issues directly with the Executive Committee.
A Corporate Governance Model for CCI
Tradition deserves respect. Governance deserves professionalism.
CCI must be run as a professionally governed institution — not as a personal fiefdom.
- Clear roles and responsibilities across office bearers, committees and administration.
- Enhanced conflict-of-interest, procurement and legacy-planning policies.
- Term limits put to vote to the general body.
Exemplary Maintenance of the Club
Our club premises should reflect the pride we have in CCI.
The administration will not wait for members to demand remarkable premises.
- Preventive maintenance on a schedule, instead of waiting for members to complain.
A Master Plan for the Club’s Future
Think beyond the next election. Build for the next generation.
A long-term Master Plan for CCI — put to members before anything is committed.
- All facilities and car parking examined together, rather than decided piecemeal.
- Feasible options to be put to vote to the general body.
Sports Will Be the Heartbeat of CCI
CCI’s sporting legacy must not only be preserved — it must be expanded.
A plan for every sport, and a calendar that runs all year.
- Infrastructure decided on utilisation, waiting lists and real demand.
- Structured coaching and pathways for young athletes.
- Support for talented members representing CCI at higher levels.
A Digital CCI — Modern Technology, Better Security
Technology should make the club more secure, efficient and member-friendly.
One platform for bookings, payments, events and answers — and faster, safer entry.
- Book facilities, register for events, make payments and find club information in one place.
- Facial-recognition entry — faster entry, improved security, better visitor management and access monitoring.
- Cybersecurity, data protection, access controls and privacy safeguards built in from the start.
Children First
The future of CCI is sitting in our club today.
Children get their own programmes, their own spaces and their own competitions.
- Dedicated children’s sporting programmes and age-appropriate coaching.
- Infrastructure planning that considers the changing needs of younger generations.
Our Senior Citizen Members
Respecting those who built the institution we inherited.
Accessibility reviewed across the club, and programmes built around senior members.
- A dedicated senior-member needs assessment.
- Seating, pathways, lifts and washrooms reviewed for accessibility.
- Wellness, fitness and social programmes, with a feedback channel of their own.
Six members. One commitment.
We are standing together on a single manifesto, with one shared standard of accountability. This is what we are asking you to vote for.
