The game of cricket has greatly influenced every individual irrespective of their age, caste, creed and ability. Then, why should the person with some disability or physical challenge be deprived of playing cricket? They also deserve and are completely entitled to enjoy the game like any other normal person. It is a strong belief that the handicapped are those with different abilities and not disa
bilities. If the right opportunity combined with guidance is given to a differently abled person, then he may learn the tricks of the trade better if not equal to what a normal person would do. The physically challenged community perhaps loves the game of cricket more than a normal person as they derive immense pleasure, joy, thrill and ultimate satisfaction as it helps them recharge their mind, body and soul. The All India Cricket Association for the Physically Challenged (AICAPC), a registered non-governmental organization has been contributing greatly towards the realization of skills among the handicapped persons to play cricket. Their relentless efforts have yielded wonderful results with many learning the art of playing cricket, getting lot many opportunities to display their skill which in turn has also increased their level of motivation and self confidence.
