History
editThe TCA has its roots in the 1933 Dar es Salaam Cricket League that decided that they should form a governing body to regulate the rules of the sport in Dar-es-salaam. The first president of this association was G. J. Patrige and P. E. Mitchell, was selected as the acting Governor, kindly consented to become the first patron of the Association. Following independence, the members of this association formed the Tanganyika Cricket Association.[3] The association broke off from the East and Central Africa Cricket Conference, which was a cricket association founded in 1946 when the 3 colonial countries of East Africa were bound together with Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika.[4] After 1964, following the Union of Zanzibar and Tanganyika, the association was renamed to the Tanzania Cricket Association, engulfing Zanzibar cricket under its mandate.
