Support blind cricketers at the Boksburg Stadium
The selected national team will, from time to time, participate in a World Cup or embark on or host international tours.
The national blind team will be in Boksburg for three days between March 21 and 23 for a training camp at the Boksburg City Stadium.
This is part of their preparation for the T20 Blind Cricket World Cup that will be staged in England in July 2021.
The national squad comprises of players from provinces including Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and Free State.
However, all of the country’s nine provinces participate in this specialised version of the sport.
For those who want to watch the training sessions and games, which will start from 9am, entry will be free.
All visually impaired people in and around the Boksburg area are urged to make their way to the Boksburg City Stadium to experience the excitement, which will hit its apex when the national side takes on the Northerns Blind Cricket side from Pretoria.
Blind Cricket South Africa (BCSA) is the mother body that takes care of all the requirements to develop and promote the game of blind cricket.
BCSA also conducts annual national tournaments for their affiliated members. The last national tournament was held in Pretoria from September 30 to October 3.
Independent selectors are appointed to identify talent for the national team.
