The first Indian cricket club was established by the Parsi community in Bombay, in 1848 ; the club played their first match against the Europeans in 1877. The first official Indian cricket team was formed in 1911 and toured England, where they played English county teams. The India team made their Test debut against England in 1932. Around the same time ( 1934 ), the first women 's Test was played between England and Australia. However, women 's cricket arrived in India much later ; the Women 's Cricket Association of India was formed in 1973. The Indian women 's team played their first Test match in 1976, against the West Indies. India recorded its first - ever Test win in November 1978 against West Indies under Shantha Rangaswamy 's captaincy at the Moin - ul - Haq Stadium in Patna.
