'Lack of Government Recognition Hurting Blind Cricket in India'

Having beaten Pakistan in the final of the T20 World Cup for the Blind to successfully defend their title earlier this month, members of the victorious Indian team were at the NDTV studio on Tuesday to discuss their win, as well as blind cricket in India. While all the players agreed that the win over Pakistan in the final felt special, coach Patrick Rajkumar lamented the lack of government recognition for blind cricket. "Lack of government recognition is making it difficult for players and hurting blind cricket in India," cricketer Mohammad Jafar Iqbal said, backing the coach's stand.
