The Pakistan Blind Cricket Council in Cricket Players Resource Directory

    

The first regular match for the blind was played in Karachi in 1978 between Lahore and IDA RIEU School, Karachi. During this period several matches were played at school level. At first, a ball made from cane fibres was used on a small ground and a ‘Playing XI’ was only six. The pitch too, instead being of full length was half and a piece of wood, 4 feet long and 4 inches wide was used as the ‘bat’. An empty drum was used for the stumps. Bowlers bowled and batsman ran between the wickets following the sound of drums. There were no regular rules for playing this form of cricket for the blind and the period till 1975 was just a source of recreation for the blind.
