The NCA was the brainchild of cricket administrator and former BCCI President Raj Singh Dungarpur.[3]

In 2014, BCCI tied up with both Cricket Australia and the ECB to get experts in for helping draw its new structure. BCCI decided to make these changes along the lines of the state-of-the-art high-performance centres based in Australia and England as part of the revamp of the National Cricket Academy.

In the new plan the NCA has a tie-up with the MRF Pace Foundation to train the fast bowlers from across the country.[4]

Former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman is the current director of the NCA.[5]
