The Parsis (aka Parsees) cricket team was an Indian first-class cricket team which took part in the annual Bombay tournament.
The team was founded by members of the Zoroastrian community in Bombay.
The Parsis competed in the Bombay tournament from its outset in 1877, when they challenged the Europeans cricket team at the Bombay Gymkhana to a two-day match.
[1] It was recognised as a first-class tournament from 1892–93 until its final staging in 1945–46.
[citation needed] The Parsis made two tours of England in the 1880s, though none of the matches have been recognised as first-class.
