India hosted its first series of tests in the year $1933$ . England were the visiting team that completed two tests in Bombay and Kolkata. The visitors win series $2 - 0$ . The Indian team continued to develop in the $1930 - 1950$ , but did not achieve international victories during that time. In the early $1940$ s, India did not play a single test cricket due to the second world war.

In the early $1900$ s, several Indians continued to play for the British cricket team.
