The Differently Abled Cricket Council of India (DCCI) revealed India’s men’s mixed disability squad for the upcoming historic five-match Mixed Disability T20 International (T20I) series against England. Ravindra Sante will captain the Indian team, with Vivek as the vice-captain. The series will bring together players with physical disabilities, hearing impairments, and intellectual disabilities in a single international format, showcasing inclusive cricket on a global level.
The matches will take place at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Stadium in Greater Noida before moving to Jaipur for the final two T20Is. India’s national training camp concluded on Saturday, and the team will head to Greater Noida on January 25 for the series opener. DCCI General Secretary Ravi Kant Chauhan emphasized the squad’s diversity and commitment, highlighting the significance of this series in demonstrating India’s progress in mixed disability cricket.
The England team, led by captain Callum Flynn, arrived in India after a successful home campaign in 2025, where they defeated India 6–1 in the first-ever Mixed Disability international series. India’s squad includes players like Ravindra Sante (Physical Disability), Vivek Kumar (Deaf), Akash Singh, Sibun Nanda, Shariq Majeed, Krishna Gowda, and others, representing various disability categories. Such international exposure is crucial for the growth of mixed disability cricket and inspiring future cricketers.
