Mr. Ajit Wadekar
It gives me immense pleasure in promoting cricket among the physically challenged for past 29 years. The All
India Cricket Association for Physically Challenged (AICAPC) has been tested by time, grown in strength and
determination, to provide a platform for physically challenged cricketers to demonstrate their talent and bring
attention of the wider society to their cause.
Since 1971, when I first encountered the affection of people with disabilities,it has been a long journey till
this day. My desire to promote cricket amongst physically challenged, was strengthened with support from
individuals like Mr. T.P. Mirajkar and organizations like the Fellowship of the Physically Handicapped -
Mumbai(FPH) and Rural Development Trust – Anatapur (RDT).
Though we started playing international cricket since 2002, AICAPC has been actively contributingto the
development of the game along with cricketing boards of other nations, after our participation at the 1st 5
Nations T/20 Cricket Tournament for Physically Challenged organized by the International Committee for Red Cross
– Bangladesh.
