The Board of Control for Cricket in India has been bringing great initiatives for differently-abled players, and in a recent move, the Centre of Excellence (CoE) has introduced an e-learning course for differently-abled former cricketers in both men's and women's categories.

As per a report from TOI journalist Gaurav Gupta, in a letter to the Differently Abled Cricket Council (DCCI) general secretary Ravi Chauhan, VVS Laxman, the current head of cricket of BCCI's CoE (Centre of Excellence), informed that BCCI is set to start a Level 0 e-Learning course for coaches from the DCCI.

Online Coaching Course To Begin With 50 Candidates

Notably, the coaching course will be thoroughly conducted online, and after the completion of the course, the candidates will qualify for the BCCI CoE Level 1 coach certification program. Adding to the beginning of a special moment for BCCI, Laxman has also asked Chauhan to nominate 50 candidates for the program.

Speaking exclusively to TOI, Ravi Chauhan expressed his enthusiasm and delight in this move that is set to give a huge boost to Indian cricket.

"This is a golden opportunity for our cricketers to enhance their coaching skills and qualifications. Like other cricketers, our differently-abled cricketers will now enjoy the benefits of BCCI-certified coaching course," Chauhan said.

BCCI's massive step also encouraged the growth and recognition of differently-abled cricketers across the country, as state cricket associations are also starting to form their own differently-abled cricket committees. With all-round growth assured, BCCI's coaching program, therefore, also peeps into the welfare of the ex-differently-abled players as well.
