The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially introduced a structured support framework for the Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI). This initiative aims to enhance the infrastructure, training, and opportunities for visually impaired cricketers across the country. The BCCI's commitment marks a significant step towards inclusivity in Indian sports, demonstrating that cricket can be a platform for all, regardless of physical challenges. The partnership will focus on providing resources that ensure better coaching, facilities, and competitive exposure for blind cricketers, thereby promoting the sport at various levels. This initiative not only empowers athletes but also raises awareness about the capabilities of individuals with disabilities in sports. The CABI has been actively working to promote cricket among the blind, and with BCCI's backing, it is expected that more players will emerge and represent India in international competitions. The announcement comes in a broader context of increasing recognition and support for para-sports in India, underlining the need for diverse representation in the cricketing arena.
