The story of the World Blind Cricket Council (WBCC) is a testament to the power of vision—both literal and metaphorical. Born from the passion and belief that visually impaired individuals deserve a global platform to showcase their talents through cricket, the WBCC has emerged as the foremost international governing body for blind cricket. Its path has been marked by transformative leadership, pioneering events, and an unwavering commitment to empowerment through sport.

The World Blind Cricket Council (WBCC) proudly serves as the global governing body for Blind Cricket, devoted to promoting and nurturing the talents of visually impaired players across the world. Established on September 22, 1996, WBCC brings together 11 full-member nations—India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, England, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, West Indies, and Afghanistan—under one united vision: to elevate Blind Cricket into a dynamic platform of empowerment, inclusion, and sporting excellence.

WBCC is the principal international body responsible for administering Blind Cricket, with its roots tracing back to a ground-breaking meeting held in Delhi, India in 1996. The founding chairman, George Abraham, has been instrumental in shaping the sport’s global journey.

At WBCC, cricket is not just a sport—it is a movement of possibilities. It stands as a testament to independence, leadership, and resilience, demonstrating that visual impairment is not a limitation, but a challenge that can be triumphantly overcome. Our mission is to bridge communities, break barriers, and build opportunities through the universal language of the game.

Through international tournaments, talent development initiatives, and tireless advocacy, WBCC creates a thriving space for both men and women to dream boldly, compete passionately, and inspire others. Blind Cricket has emerged as the largest adaptive sport for the blind, providing athletes with not only sporting achievement but also pathways to personal growth, confidence, and international recognition.

Looking to the future, WBCC is focused on expanding the global reach of Blind Cricket—introducing the sport to new regions, including non-traditional cricketing nations—ensuring it flourishes as a truly global movement.

Founded after a landmark meeting in Delhi, India, the WBCC owes its beginnings to the visionary leadership of George Abraham, its founding Chairman. His pioneering efforts shaped a movement where cricket is more than a game—it is a testament to resilience, leadership, and possibility.

WBCC not only administers the game globally but also champions talent development, international tournaments, and awareness—helping transform Blind Cricket into the largest adaptive sport for the visually impaired. The Council’s work provides players with opportunities for personal growth, international exposure, and recognition on the world stage.

As Blind Cricket expands to new geographies—including non-traditional cricketing nations—WBCC remains committed to making the sport a truly global movement.
