Cricket in India operates autonomously from the government, governed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The BCCI, as a private entity, manages all cricket-related affairs, including organizing matches and managing players. The government's non-interference allows the sport to maintain its professional integrity and global standards. The BCCI's independent operation also encourages commercialization, attracting sponsors and investments. Despite occasional debates about bringing it under the government's control, the independence of cricket management in India has been a successful model so far.
