History

The Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) was established in 1956 and became affiliated with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 1966, administering cricketing activities across the state of Punjab and the Union Territory of Chandigarh. PCA built its headquarters at the I.S. Bindra Stadium (originally Mohali Stadium), which was established in 1993 and serves as its primary international venue. Over time, PCA’s operations evolved from being headquartered in the residences of officials to constructing world-class infrastructure. It expanded its coaching, tournaments, and talent development programs throughout major districts including Amritsar, Jalandhar, Patiala, Ludhiana, Mohali, as well as outlying regions such as Kapurthala, Hoshiarpur, Bathinda, Faridkot, Ferozepur, Sangrur, Muktsar, Nawanshahar.
