SKILL. SOUND. SHARED AMBITION.
A different way to play.
The same love of cricket.
Blind cricket brings players with different levels of vision together through sound, communication and teamwork.
Adaptations to the ball and delivery help players follow the game. Listening, timing and trust are part of every session — from first practice to competitive play.

GET TO KNOW THE GAME
Three things that shape play.
A ball you can hear
The association brochure describes a larger, hard plastic ball containing steel ball bearings. The rattling sound helps players follow it as it rolls.
An underarm delivery
Bowlers deliver underarm and use verbal cues such as “Ready?” and “Play!” to help the batter and fielders prepare for the ball.
A connected team
Eleven players contribute through batting, bowling and fielding. Clear communication and awareness help teammates coordinate their play.
UNDERSTANDING PLAYER CATEGORIES
Different vision.
One team.
Blind cricket includes B1, B2 and B3 player categories. This introductory guide uses the descriptions in TCAB’s brochure.
Totally blind
Players with no functional vision.
Partially blind

Partially sighted

These descriptions are an introduction to the sport. Event organisers provide the applicable classification, eligibility and competition rules.
