ECB CEO’s Revolutionary Proposal: Disabled Cricket Will Get A New Dimension! The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) just threw a major curveball! Their CEO, Richard Gould, wrote to his counterpart at the BCCI, Jay Shah, proposing the creation of two national cricket teams for players with disabilities.

This is a massive step towards inclusion. One team would be for visually impaired (blind) players, and the other would be a combined team for players with physical disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and hearing impairments. This could be a game-changer for getting these communities involved in cricket!

The Current State Of Cricket For People With Disabilities in India

Right now, India has the Disabled Cricket Council of India (DCCI) which works under the BCCI. They organize tournaments for these athletes, but the BCCI itself doesn’t run any independent events.

Why This ECB Proposal Matters

The ECB’s proposal could take cricket for people with disabilities to the next level. National teams would give these talented athletes a chance to compete internationally, bringing them recognition and boosting their morale.

Plus, it would make cricket way more popular among people with disabilities, giving them a clear path to get involved in the sport they love.
