The Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) is the governing body for cricket in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. It was founded in 1930 and is affiliated to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The JKCA is responsible for organizing cricket matches in the state, as well as selecting the Jammu and Kashmir cricket team.

The JKCA has been involved in a number of controversies in recent years. In 2012, the BCCI suspended the JKCA for financial irregularities. The suspension was lifted in 2014, but the JKCA has been under close scrutiny from the BCCI ever since.

In 2017, the JKCA was again suspended by the BCCI, this time for alleged corruption. The suspension was lifted in 2018, but the JKCA remains under investigation by the BCCI.

Despite the controversies, the JKCA has played an important role in the development of cricket in Jammu and Kashmir. The association has helped to promote the sport in the state and has produced a number of talented cricketers, including former India internationals like Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan.

The JKCA is headquartered in Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir. The association’s current president is Farooq Ahmad Shah.
