The Jind Cricket Association was formed with the objective of augmentation of game of Cricket in the state of Haryana, in the year 1978 whereas state formed in 1966. However the Association was granted affiliation by the BCCI at a meeting of HCA. Till the year 2019 the Association was considered to be minnows of Haryana Cricket, it was only in July 2004 that the present set up headed by Mr. K.K Chahal & former president Ranbir Mahendra who is father of current chairperson Haryana Cricket Association i.e. Anirudh Chaudhary took over the reins of Jind Cricket Association (JCA) and the Association caught the eye of many. The new year (2005) came with new hopes and new dreams. The dawn of year 2004 suddenly threw up a hope, a sense of renewed vitality to catch up with the best in the Haryana State at least, if not in the entire Zone or country. A new body under young and dynamic President was installed in the office and all of a sudden we witness a flurry of activity all around us ……. Sky can be the limit for Jind Cricket under his stewardship”. Mr. K.K Chahal elected as first Secretary of the Jind Cricket Association on 23rd August 1989. Soon after he took over the association he expressed his concerns as to what still ailed the Jind cricket. He expressed, “Why were Jind District players even after 15 years of affiliation to the BCCI regarded as babes in the wood and were treated with scant respect in the domestic circle. He realized that problems were manifold with the chief problem being lack of exposure, facilities, grounds and infrastructure.” The foremost agenda of the newly formed JCA was to construct its own stadium having best of facilities, it was a daunting task but the young Secretary accepted the challenge and the results can be seen. Apart from lack of infrastructure in the state the plight of players was also pathetic as such the association needed a paradigm shift in approach.The comparative briefs enunciated in the succeeding paragraphs will clearly show you the trends and momentum with which JCA has accelerated, particularly in the last twelve years.
