The Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI) chairman Dr GK Mahantesh believes the BCCI’s commitment towards supporting blind cricket will not only ease the struggles of the players, but will also lift the level of their game.

In a statement released on Friday, CABI said that “BCCI has committed support to the men’s and women’s national teams, focussing on providing international travel and accommodation for two overseas tournaments annually, accommodation for home and visiting teams in bilateral series in India and access to BCCI-supported stadiums and grounds for domestic and international fixtures.”
