History
In September 2007, Arunachal Cricket Association applied for BCCI's affiliation.[3] In October 2008, it got the BCCi's affiliation.[4] The Arunachal Pradesh cricket team played its first domestic match in December 2009 in Under-19 tournament. The teams faced infrastructure issues during its inception.[3]
