The Differently Abled Cricket Council: The Differently Abled Cricket Council of India (DCCI) has welcomed the recent decision of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to introduce a structured support framework for the Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI), one of the founder member of DCCI, calling it a landmark step for inclusive growth in Indian cricket.
The BCCI on Saturday announced a support framework for the Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI), underlining its commitment to inclusive growth and greater opportunities across Indian cricket. It said, "The initiative reflects the importance of inclusive growth in cricket, an approach that ICC Chairman Jay Shah has advocated during his tenure as BCCI Secretary and continues to support in his role at the ICC."
The initiative, which focuses on international exposure, home series support, and access to BCCI-affiliated venues, has been widely appreciated across the disability cricket ecosystem. DCCI office-bearers described the move as a progressive shift that strengthens opportunities and professional pathways for visually impaired cricketers.
