'''Chhattisgarh cricket team''' is a [[cricket]] team from the state of [[Chhattisgarh]], [[India]].<ref>[https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Teams/3/3561/3561.html Chhattisgarh Teams]</ref>

Chhattisgarh began playing in Indian domestic tournaments including the [[Ranji Trophy]] from the [[2016–17 Ranji Trophy|2016–17 season]].<ref name="Ranji">{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/1036241.html|title=Kaif to lead debutants Chhattisgarh in 2016-17 season|date=18 July 2016|publisher=ESPN Cricinfo|access-date=18 July 2016}}</ref> The team is managed by [[Chhattisgarh State Cricket Sangh]] which was granted the full-member status by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] in February 2016.

==History==
In 2013/14, Chhattisgarh Under-16 and Under-25 teams finished at the bottom of their respective groups in the [[Vijay Merchant Trophy]]'s zonal league and [[CK Nayudu Trophy]]'s plate league, respectively. Their Under-19 team, however, finished third in their group in the [[Cooch Behar Trophy]] plate league and missed qualifying for the semi-finals of the lower tier by a whisker.<ref>[https://cricket.yahoo.com/news/chhattisgarh-set-to-get-promotion-043056161.html full member of the BCCI]</ref>

According to the BCCI regulations, an associate member can be promoted as a full member if the said member is an Associate Member for a continuous period of five cricketing seasons, and such a member satisfies the board that the game in its jurisdiction has reached a standard justifying its participation in the national tournament of [[Ranji Trophy]].<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/ranji-trophy/Chhattisgarh-cricketers-feel-orphaned-by-BCCI/articleshow/47292855.cms Chhattisgarh cricketers feel orphaned by BCCI]</ref>

Chhattisgarh gained associate member status in 2008, and was given full membership in February 2016. This meant that Chhattisgarh would participate in the domestic tournaments ([[Ranji Trophy]], [[Vijay Hazare Trophy]] and [[Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy]]) from the 2016–17 season. Chhattisgarh will play in the Group C of the Ranji Trophy, taking the number of teams in the group to 10. CSCS secretary [[Rajesh Dave]] expects [[Ashutosh Singh (cricketer)|Ashutosh Singh]], [[Harpreet Singh (cricketer, born 1991)|Harpreet Singh]], [[Jalaj Saxena]], [[Jatin Saxena]] (all Madhya Pradesh), [[Abhimanyu Chauhan]], [[Sahil Gupta]] (both Baroda) and [[Bhima Rao]] (Railways) to play for the new Chhattisgarh team, along with India under-19 cricketer [[Amandeep Khare]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Laha|first1=Somshuvra|title=BCCI membership wait over, Chhattisgarh can’t wait to host Ranji Trophy|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/bcci-membership-wait-over-chhattisgarh-can-t-wait-to-host-ranji-trophy/story-Fm57hogtNHPvhpxeEMaE5K.html|work=Hindustan Times|access-date=3 April 2016}}</ref>

He will remain with the team for three seasons starting from [[2016–17 Ranji Trophy]].<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/1031531.html?CMP=chrome Sulakshan Kulkarni appointed Chhattisgarh coach for three seasons]</ref> Mohammad Kaif has been appointed as the first captain.<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/1036241.html "Kaif to lead debutants Chhattisgarh in 2016-17 season"]</ref>
