Blind cricket is a version of the sport of cricket adapted for blind and partially sighted players. It has been governed by the World Blind Cricket Council (WBCC) since 1996. So far three Blind World Cups have been held New Delhi India (1998); Chennai India (2002) and Islamabad Pakistan (2006). In 2012 the first Blind World Cup T20 was held in Bangalore India. Blind cricket relies on common use of the ‘sweep shot’ in order to provide maximum chance of the bat hitting the ball.
