Chandigarh cricket team represents the Union Territory of Chandigarh in Indian domestic cricket competitions. In August 2019, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) named them as the last of ten expansion teams, the other nine having been introduced in 2018–19. Chandigarh made their senior debut in the 2019–20 season, playing in the Ranji Trophy, the Vijay Hazare Trophy, and the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Former Indian cricketer, V. R. V. Singh, was named as the first coach of the team.[1]

Chandigarh made their debut in the Ranji Trophy in December 2019, in the Plate Division.[2][3] In their first match of the season, Arslan Khan scored the first century by a batsman for Chandigarh in first-class cricket.[4]

On 12 February 2020, their fixture against Manipur was the 60,000th first-class cricket match to be played.[5][6]
