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.

The manifesto

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.

01

Transparency & Accountability

No secrets. No selective disclosure.

What this means for you

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.
02

Members’ Voices & Opinions

The club belongs to its members. Their voices must shape its future.

What this means for you

You will not have to wait for the AGM to be heard.

  • Regular Open Houses where you raise issues directly with the Executive Committee.
03

A Corporate Governance Model for CCI

Tradition deserves respect. Governance deserves professionalism.

What this means for you

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.
04

Exemplary Maintenance of the Club

Our club premises should reflect the pride we have in CCI.

What this means for you

The administration will not wait for members to demand remarkable premises.

  • Preventive maintenance on a schedule, instead of waiting for members to complain.
05

A Master Plan for the Club’s Future

Think beyond the next election. Build for the next generation.

What this means for you

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.
06

Sports Will Be the Heartbeat of CCI

CCI’s sporting legacy must not only be preserved — it must be expanded.

What this means for you

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.
07

A Digital CCI — Modern Technology, Better Security

Technology should make the club more secure, efficient and member-friendly.

What this means for you

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.
08

Children First

The future of CCI is sitting in our club today.

What this means for you

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.
09

Our Senior Citizen Members

Respecting those who built the institution we inherited.

What this means for you

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.
The candidates

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.
