North East Zone cricket team is a cricket team that plays first-class and List A cricket in the Duleep Trophy and Deodhar Trophy. The team is geographically based in Northeast India. They are currently being captained by Hokaito Zhimomi. It is a composite team of players from six teams from north east India: Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim.

History

Before the 2022–23 season, inter zonal cricket in India had consisted of five teams, representing the Central, East, North, South and West zones.[1] With the addition of Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) ahead of the 2018–19 season, a new zone was required when zonal cricket returned in 2022–23.[2] Therefore, North East Zone cricket was formed in August 2022 for both men's and women's cricket.[3] In August 2022, BCCI announced that North East Zone would be one of the six zones to compete in the 2022–23 Duleep Trophy.[4][5]

This was the first time that North East Zone participated in any competitive cricket tournament in India, with Hokaito Zhimomi being named as the captain.[6][7] They played their inaugural first-class match on 8 September 2022 and drew the match against West Zone.[8] However, they could not qualify for the semi-final because of West Zone's first innings lead.[9]

They took part in the 2023 Deodhar Trophy, a List A cricket competition for the first time.[10]
