00:00When we talk about cricket for the blind, it is not something which has gained a lot of visibility, a lot of popularity.
00:07What do you have to tell or urge the government of India to do more in terms of promoting the cricket for visually impaired people?
00:16When it comes to the other sports, almost all the district level, the state level, national level, international level,
00:24everywhere the coaching camps are happening, they are having proper premises for practicing.
00:29When it comes to the blind cricket, we don't have a proper setup to practice.
00:34So it is all like a private system, what we are calling. We are depending on the other organization or other ground.
00:42So may if the government supports, it helps visually a challenged person to come out and they can practice in their own areas.
00:53So if they get financial support, at least the training support, it will be really great.
00:59Because what we have seen, there is a lot of visually challenged people out there. They want to come out.
01:09But the main challenges is they can't come for the main cities like Bangalore or Delhi or Indore. There is a very limited places.
01:18That also the cricket association for the blind in India is taking care.
01:21If government also supports in this matter, maybe we can reach in a different level.
01:26Maybe we can reach each and every visually impaired to if the really good talents, a deserved person will be getting the more opportunities.
01:35You can't reach this.
01:37Please.
01:39If you would like to touch on thearde on the hill and you don't have to touch on them.
01:48I love it.
01:50Well, Mike, I think I'll think you have to make sure that you can find the best from everyone else.
01:54The team is on the hill and you're in the hill.
