City to host second-leg T20 Cricket Tournament for Blind

A three-day T20 Cricket Tournament, jointly organised by Karnataka Cricket Association for the Blind (KCAB), Cricket Association for the Blind in India (CABI) and Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled, will be held at JSS-KSCA Ground at SJCE campus from Nov.25.

The Mysuru-leg of the national-level T20 tournament will witness teams from Delhi, Haryana, Goa and Karnataka facing each other during the tournament.

The matches will be held in the following three categories: B1 (completely blind), B2 (partially blind) and B3 (partially sighted). An audible ball and hollow steel stumps will be used for the matches, as visually challenged can sense the direction of the ball, batting/ bowling and play accordingly.

One lakh while the runners-up will be awarded Rs.75,000 and the two losing semi-finalists will be awarded Rs.40,000 each.
