Differently-abled cricketers are all set to get official recognition from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) very soon, according to reports from The Times of India. Due to the same, they would be allowed to use the logo of the board on their jerseys when they go abroad for tournaments as well as in India. This positive development has come up after the organizations running differently-abled cricket in India form the Differently-abled Cricket Council of India (DCCI).
The Council elected Mahantesh GK as the President due to his contribution towards differently-abled cricket and especially for the visually challenged. The idea of forming the council as well as gaining official recognition was proposed to the BCCI and its secretary Jay Shah in a meeting with shareholders in differently-abled cricket. In the same, Shah is said to have expressed his desire in implementing the idea.
