New pan-disability team puts three England sides in oneTwo deaf players have quit over ‘lack of consultation’
The England and Wales Cricket Board has been accused of making disability cricket less inclusive, while several players have already quit in protest after the governing body “streamlined” three England teams into one mixed disability setup.
The world’s first ever pan-disability international series – which means open to all disabilities – will take place in England against India in June and July. The format mirrors England’s domestic Disability Premier League in bringing together the existing Physical Disability (PD), Learning Disability (LD) and Deaf teams to play as one group.
