NEW DELHI: The Union Sports Minister, Vijay Goel, felicitated the Indian team that won the Blind T20 World Cup at Bengaluru recently, with a cash purse of Rs. 10 lakh here on Monday.
Goel commended the performance of the Indian team that had won the title for the second time and also recalled the four medals won by India at the Paralympics last year.
Assuring all support for the blind and differently-abled athletes, Goel said that the ministry would consider the option of recognising the Cricket Association for the Blind India. He has already sanctioned a sum of Rs. 30 lakh to the association.
