BPCL partners with India’s First Pan-Disability Cricket Team for historic England Tour

Mumbai, June 20 (UNI) Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) on Friday said that it has collaborated with India’s first pan-disability cricket team as they prepare to embark on a landmark

tour to England.

This pioneering initiative marks a significant step towards fostering inclusivity and diversity in Indian sports.

The dynamic team, comprising talented players with physical, hearing, and intellectual disabilities,

is set to make history by representing India in their international debut at the Vitality IT20 Mixed Disability Series against England.

Under the inspiring leadership of Mumbai’s Ravindra Sante, the team will play seven T20 International matches across renowned venues in England during June and July 2025. This

tour not only represents a critical milestone in the global recognition of inclusive sports but

also showcases the indomitable spirit and talent of Indian athletes.

In a celebratory ceremony held earlier this week in New Delhi, Deepak Jain, Chief General Manager – Sports (HRS), BPCL, officially unveiled the team’s jersey, proudly displaying the BPCL logo.

The jersey stands as a symbol of BPCL’s unwavering commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities through the power of sports.
