So hopefully We'll have National Tournament of Cricket played by blind women in the years to come. Certainly this innitiative, taken by VDCA is welcome one! And down the ten years from now probably World cup? VADODARA: The disabled girls from Vadodara will soon be able to play professional cricket and participate in tournaments. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/vadodara/Girls-with-disabilities-to-get-cricket-coaching/articleshow/26114442.cms The Baroda Disabled Cricket Association (BDCA) has decided to coach disabled girls in cricket and organize regular tournaments. BDCA already has a team of disabled boys who participate in cricket tournaments. The camp for coaching disabled girls may take off this Sunday at Gujarat Refinery Ground.
"There are many talented disabled girls who can do well in cricket. We decided to start special coaching camps for them so that they too can participate in cricket tournaments. It will do wonders to their confidence," said Nitendra Singh, chairman of BDCA and coach of men's disabled national team. "Over a dozen disabled girls from the city have already approached us and we are expecting the numbers to go up in coming weeks," Singh told TOI. The disabled girls will also be trained in umpiring and scoring so that they can take up professional jobs and support themselves and their families. The training camp will be held twice a week and Singh is expecting more applications from disabled girls from other districts too. "Once the girls are trained, we will organize disabled girls' cricket tournament in the city and later make efforts to organize tournaments at higher level," Singh added.
