Historic India versus England Mixed Disability T20 Cricket Series starts in England on June 21
Jaipur: History will be made when the first-ever mixed disability T20 series between India and England starts in England on Saturday (June 21) at Taunton, the home of Somerset County Cricket Club. During the landmark seven-match T20Is tour, the teams will also play a match at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground on June 25. Led by Mumbai's Ravindra Gopinath Sante, India's mixed disability team arrived in London for the tour on June 15. The 16-member team, picked by the Differently abled Cricket Council of India (DCCI), has prepared for the series by playing three practice matches against the England Lions Mixed Disability team at the Budleigh Salterton Cricket Club in Exeter. Virendra Singh is the vice-captain of the team, while the team's head coach is former Rajasthan captain Rohit Jhalani. Before travelling to England, the Indian team had a week-long preperatory camp at the Jaipuria Cricket Academy ground in Jaipur. The team comprises six deaf, six physical disability and four intellectual disability players. This format has been approved by the International Cricket Council (ICC). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo "We thank the English Cricket Board and the BCCI for providing us with all the facilities which are given to the international players for this tour. We are playing all our matches on this tour on the first-class ground of England," said Ravi Chauhan, general secretary of the DCCI. "Our preparations have been good. We are looking forward to an exciting series, which will raise the profile of mixed disability cricket," said Abhay Pratap Singh, Jt. Secretary, DCCI. In a first incident, all the seven matches of the series will be streamed live on Sony Liv. "As the BCCI secretary, Jay Shah provided us with complete support from the BCCI. We wish that as the ICC Chair, he would support this format too," Ravi Chauhan said. Before the first match at Taunton, both the teams will hold a two-minute silence and wear black armbands to pay their respects to the victims of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12. The highlight of the tour will, of course, be the third T20I at Lord's on June 25, giving India's mixed disability team the rare honour of competing at the iconic 'Home of Cricket.' The date and the venue both make for a tremendous coincidence- 42 years back, India, led by the legendary Kapil Dev, had clinched the 1983 World Cup on June 25 at Lord's in 1983. June 25 is incidentally celebrated as the 'World Mixed Disability Day.' The other standout fixture of the tour is scheduled for July 1 in Bristol, where the Indian mixed disability team will play their English counterparts, followed by a T201 between the women's teams of India and England in a double-header. The Bristol match will be shown live on Sky Sports, stated Ravikant Chauhan, general secretary, Differently Abled Cricket Council Of India (DCCI) BCCI Member, Differently Abled Cricket Committee.

Relatives turn Mayo's surgical wards into dumping yard
1 2 3 Nagpur: Apathetic family members and relatives of patients admitted to IGGMC's posh surgical wards have literally turned the corridors and waiting areas into littered spots, with heaps of trash seen dumped everywhere. Food waste and plastic litter the area, attracting stray dogs that roam inside the wards. The unhygienic conditions raise serious concerns about safety of patients despite the hospital's modern facilities. This comes amidst the administration cracking down on violators and collecting a fine of Rs 17,000 for spitting and littering, besides confiscating kharra pouches. TOI visited the complex on Saturday and found relatives throwing food leftovers, plastic wrappers, and even soiled material all over the ward floors. When asked, they blamed the hospital administration, saying it provides only one small dustbin in many areas, which quickly overflows and is not emptied periodically. Shockingly, used gloves likely discarded by hospital staff were also found tossed below the ramp near the entrance of the complex. These are medical-grade gloves that can carry infections if not disposed of properly. "It's extremely dangerous to leave such bio waste out in the open, especially in a hospital where patients with low immunity are being treated," said a visitor. The poor hygiene and sanitation have also resulted in the locking of toilets on the floors for visitors. "Toilets inside the wards are good and well maintained. But visitors or relatives waiting outside have to go out of the main gate to relieve themselves," said a woman. The toilet area too has been turned into a dumping site. Making matters worse, stray dogs too were spotted roaming inside the complex. Not only are the strays freely roaming the corridors, but they've also been seen defecating on the floors. Though many relatives complained about the poor state of cleanliness in the hospital, some of them appreciated the immaculate interiors of the wards. IGGMCH dean Dr Ravi Chauhan admitted there's a shortage of manpower, which makes it difficult to manage cleanliness round the clock. "A new contractor would soon be appointed. But we're taking action regularly to curb the menace. We've already fined several people for littering and collected a total fine of Rs 17,800 so far," he said, adding the administration will continue collecting penalties from offenders.
