Governor Tessori Rewards Historic Win
Governor Sindh Kamran Tessori extended heartfelt congratulations to Pakistan’s national blind cricket team for their landmark victory in the Blind T20 World Cup. In a ceremony at Karachi’s Governor House, he awarded the team a cash prize of PKR 500,000, acknowledging their hard work and resilience.
Praising their performance, Tessori said, “These players have shown the world what determination can achieve. They are the pride of our nation.”
Commitment to Further Rewards
In addition to the initial cash reward, Tessori promised to advocate for an additional PKR 500,000 for each team member from the Sindh Government. This commitment underscores the significance of their achievement and the need to support differently-abled athletes.
A Historic Win Against the Odds
The Pakistan Blind cricket team etched their name in history last month by clinching their first Blind T20 World Cup title. They dominated the tournament and sealed a memorable 10-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the final, breaking India’s monopoly on the title, which they had held for three consecutive tournaments.
The Road Ahead for Blind Cricket
The team’s historic victory has paved the way for a brighter future for blind cricket in Pakistan. The growing attention and support from government bodies and cricket authorities are expected to improve facilities, training, and opportunities for differently-abled cricketers.
An Inspiration Beyond the Field
This achievement is more than just a cricketing milestone; it’s a story of inspiration for countless individuals facing challenges. The team’s success is a reminder that barriers can be overcome with hard work, unity, and a passion for excellence.
