Full form of BCCI is Board of Control for Cricket in India.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is the national governing body for cricket in India. The board was formed in December 1928 as a society, registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act.

It is a consortium of state cricket associations and the state associations select their representatives who in turn elect the BCCI Chief.

It's headquarters are in Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Grant Govan was its first president and Anthony De Mello it's first secretary.

The BCCI is India's richest sporting body and the richest cricket board in the world. Most other board's depend on their matches with India for the largest chunk of their income. BCCI does not depend on the Government of India for its finances.
