The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced it will fund travel expenses for the national blind cricket squad comprising 17 players.
BCCI confirmed today that it will cover all travel-related costs for the Indian blind cricket team as the side prepares for upcoming international engagements.
The 17‑member squad, selected by the Cricket Association for the Blind in India, will benefit from the board's funding for airfare, accommodation and other logistical needs.
Board officials said the initiative underscores BCCI's commitment to inclusive cricket and its effort to promote sports for persons with disabilities.
Players and disability‑sports advocates welcomed the move, noting that financial relief will allow the team to concentrate on performance rather than funding concerns.
