BCCI announces 'structured support' for Cricket Association for the Blind in India

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has unveiled a comprehensive support framework aimed at enhancing the development of cricket for the visually impaired through the Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI). This initiative is designed to provide structured assistance, which includes opportunities for international exposure, financial backing for home series, and improved access to cricket venues. The BCCI's commitment is part of its broader strategy to promote inclusivity in sports and ensure that athletes with disabilities receive the necessary support to compete at higher levels. By facilitating these resources, the BCCI aims to elevate the standards of blind cricket in the country and create more competitive environments for players. This move has been welcomed by sports enthusiasts and advocates for disability rights, who believe that such initiatives will help in fostering talent and recognition for athletes who have long been overlooked in mainstream sports.
