WHILE the football World Cup may be dominating the headlines worldwide, Australia’s blind cricketers are having a crack at a World Cup of their own.

Australia’s best blind cricketers are currently in New Delhi playing in the T20 Blind Cricket World Cup. Among the squad members is Langwarrin resident Lachlan Hayward, a totally blind Frankston Council employee.

The blind team is touring overseas for the first time since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Australia’s blind side has had a tough start to the tournament – the side has lost three times so far, but has also picked up a win. Although they lost both opening matches, the side fought hard.

Blind cricket is played using modified cricket balls filled with ball bearings. Players use the sound of the ball bearings to track the movement of the ball.
