BCCI Formalizes Support for India’s Blind Cricket Teams

The commitment formalizes institutional backing for CABI after years of patchwork CSR funding.

Overview

  • The framework funds international travel and accommodation for two overseas tournaments each year for both the men’s and women’s teams.
  • Accommodation will be provided for home and visiting sides during bilateral series hosted in India for blind cricket.
  • Visually impaired teams will gain access to BCCI-affiliated stadia and grounds to ensure professional match environments.
  • The announcement follows discussions led by ICC chairman Jay Shah with CABI leaders Dr Mahantesh G. Kivadasannavar and Shailender Yadav.
  • CABI welcomed the move as a step that reduces reliance on CSR grants and expands opportunities for international participation.
