KSCA SPORTS CENTRE

The Karnataka State Cricket Association (formerly the Mysore Cricket Association) is committed to develop Karnataka as the premier cricketing state in the country. It aims to take the game to mofussil areas of the state for development at the grassroots level and to continuously promote the welfare of its players. The KSCA was founded during the year 1933-34 and affiliated to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The Association made steady progress from 1934 to 1959 when the Silver Jubilee was celebrated to coincide with the visit of the Australian team to Bangalore to play against the Combined Universities XI. In the late Sixties the Association acquired its own cricket ground and the stadium now known as the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium came into being. Bangalore became a Test centre, and several memorable tests and One-Day International matches, including the 1996 World Cup quarter-finals, have taken place here. The Karnataka State Cricket Association has grown from strength to strength and is today one of the best-organised State Cricket Associations in the country. The Association today has over 4000 members from diverse backgrounds. The Karnataka State Cricket Association in its continued pursuit towards excellence commenced its own club house within the stadium complex to cater to the recreational needs of its ever growing members in the year 1978. The KSCA is now a distint land mark in the heart of Bangalore on Mahatma Gandhi Road adjacent to the renowed cubbon park. The KSCA is located at a distance of 37 kms from the Airport and 6 kms from the city railway station and the city bus stand. M.G Road, Brigade Road and commercial street which happen to be the business and commercial hub of the city is about walking distance from the club house.
