==History==
Jammu and Kashmir first took part in the [[Ranji Trophy]] in 1959-60.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Teams/0/159/First-Class_Matches.html|title=First-Class Matches Played by Jammu and Kashmir |publisher=CricketArchive|access-date=21 April 2017}}</ref> Until recent seasons it had always been one of the weaker teams. Its first victory did not come until the 1982-83 season, when it defeated [[Services cricket team|Services]] by four wickets.<ref>''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack|Wisden]]'' 1984, p. 1104.</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Services v Jammu & Kashmir 1982-83 |url=http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1980S/1982-83/IND_LOCAL/RANJI/NORTH/SVCS_J+K_RJI-N_24-26DEC1982.html |website=Cricinfo |access-date=14 November 2020}}</ref> As of mid-November 2020 it had played 301 matches in the competition and won only 32 times, against 199 losses.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Records/India/Firstclass/JammuandKashmir/Team_Records/Ranji_Trophy_Playing_Record.html|title=Playing Record (1959/60-2019/20)|publisher=CricketArchive|access-date=14 November 2020}}</ref>

In recent seasons Jammu and Kashmir has been more successful. In 2013–14, the team qualified for the knockout stage of the Ranji Trophy after a gap of more than 10 years. Placed in Group C, the state team, which last qualified for the knockout stage in 2001–02 season, notched up four outright wins in the league round to pip Goa by .001 points on net run rate for a berth in the quarterfinals.
