The Cricket Association of Pondicherry (CAP) has been granted the status of a Full Member of the BCCI by the Committee of Administrators (CoA).
CAP, which made its debut the last season, will now become a voting member of the BCCI. It was given Associate Member status last October and went on to take part in the Ranji Trophy and other age-group tournaments of the Board.
Explaining its decision to grant Full Member status, the CoA noted that apart from playing in the domestic competition, CAP has a territory within its jurisdiction for administration and development of the game.
Pondicherry hosted BCCI games, including the Ranji Trophy, last year and finished third in the Plate group with four wins and three draws and a No Result in eight games (33 points).
