Cricket Beyond Sight: Empowering Visually Impaired Cricketers in India
An Initiative by Shamshir Foundation | Spark Our Sport for Blind Cricket
At the Shamshir Foundation, we believe in the power of sports to drive change, inspire communities, and create lasting impact. Our latest initiative, Cricket Beyond Sight, aims to take this vision to the next level. Set to launch in May 2025, this one-of-a-kind cricket league is dedicated to the inclusion and empowerment of visually impaired athletes across India.
Cricket Beyond Sight is not just a tournament—it’s a transformative platform designed to break barriers, create opportunities, and provide a holistic approach to the development of visually impaired cricketers. Our mission is to go beyond the boundaries of a traditional sporting event and focus on nurturing talent, building athlete profiles, and opening pathways for future professional opportunities in sports.
An extraordinary cricket league designed to bring visually impaired sportspersons into the spotlight and break barriers in the world of sports. This transformative initiative aims to empower, include, and uplift athletes who have long been underrepresented in mainstream sports.
What Makes Cricket Beyond Sight Different?
Inclusion: We believe in the power of sport to unite and uplift. By hosting a cricket league specifically for visually impaired sports persons, we aim to shatter misconceptions and provide equal opportunities for individuals to compete and shine.
Empowerment: This initiative will provide the tools, coaching, and support necessary for sports persons to thrive. It’s about building confidence, honing skills, and achieving greatness.
Community Support: Local communities, heroes, and partners will play a key role in making this initiative a success. Through collaborative efforts, we will create a strong foundation for these sports persons, ensuring lasting impact beyond the tournament.
Holistic Sports Person Development: Our focus goes beyond the game itself. Through training, exposure, and professional development, Cricket Beyond Sight will nurture well-rounded sports persons and help pave the way for their futures in sports.
Why It Matters?
Visually impaired sports persons are often overlooked in the sports world, but they have the same passion, drive, and potential to succeed. Cricket Beyond Sight is designed to elevate these sports persons, offering them not only the chance to play cricket but also a chance to be celebrated for their talent and resilience. By providing a professional platform for these individuals, we can help them achieve new heights in their careers.
