Solution
The correct option is D Oriental Cricket Club
The white cricket elite in India offered no help to the cricket
enthusiastic Parsis. In fact, there was a quarrel between the Bombay Gymkhana, a whites-only club, and Parsi
cricketers over the use of a public park. When it became clear
that the colonial authorities were prejudiced in favour of
Englishmen, the Parsis built their own gymkhana called the Oriental Cricket Club in Bombay to play cricket.
