History of Blind Cricket, Rules, Equipment, and news

December 9, 2021 By Live Sports

There is no sighted person on the team. The players use hand signals and voice commands to communicate with teammates and umpires. Disabled cricketers are all over the world. In Kenya, they play blind cricket with bats and balls that they can hold in their hands, but not see. Even in their own country. The coach on the sideline communicates with his players through a headset. The coach has a view of the entire field and can communicate with the entire team. The only person not wearing a headset is the pitcher. They have to look up at the sky to find their strike zone! Now that is some serious dedication.

What is Blind Cricket?

It was first played by a team of blind cricketers in 1796 at the Royal Asylum for the Blind in London.

For a blind cricket, the equipment needed is the batsman’s bat, which should be made of wood and be slightly smaller than the normal batting. The blind cricket uses a leather ball, with leather pads around the edges. The batsman has to face the bowling attack, like any other batsman.

In conclusion

The blind cricketer should also have good hand-eye coordination and good body control to play with a bat. Blind cricket is the latest variant of cricket played in a specially designed cricket ground with no sightlines to the batsman.
