A couple of days ago, a pathbreaking event took place in the western suburbs. A women’s wheelchair cricket competition took place, with two Mumbai teams in the fray. The players, wheelchair cricketers certainly broke the sporting glass ceiling so to speak. Women in wheelchairs playing cricket is novel and refreshing. The men have at least 20 teams across the country. Wheelchair cricket for women may just have a team or two.

This is reason for cheer for both gender and sport, but it also gives us several aspects to think about and making access better for wheelchair players.
