Former India skipper Ajit Wadekar, who is president of the All India Cricket Association for the Physically Challenged (AICAPC), met BCCI president Shashank Manohar yesterday to aprise about the situation.
"I briefed him about the meeting I had with the other two factions (Haryana-based PCCAI and Lucknow-based Indian Cricket Federation for Disabled) promoting disabled cricket in India. I told him we have come under one umbrella now. He was happy to hear that. He will now keep the proposal in the next BCCI meeting hopefully," Wadekar told mid-day.
Apparently, Lodha Committee too has strongly recommended for disabled cricket getting BCCI's affiliation.
