15. Health Benefits • Research clearly shows that people with disabilities who are involved in sports are healthier and have less returns to hospital and health care facilities, than their peers who are not involved in sports. These individuals look after their health, develop their fitness and manage specific disability related medical issues better. The skiers with disabilities also experience the normal health related benefits that we all do from participation in sports.

17. Emotional Benefits • It is well known that participation in sports, has positive emotional benefits for everyone, this is also the case for people with disabilities. Participation in sports, particularly “exciting and fast” sports like Cricket, can facilitate adjustment to a disability and changed lifestyle as a result of an accident or illness. • This can have a generalizing affect on other aspects of people’s life including potential to work, relationships etc. Sport can improve self concept and self esteem and re-store shattered life roles. This occurs both at the recreational level “I am a Professional Cricketer rather than I am a disabled person” and at the International competition level “I am an Indian Cricket Champion” – changes the whole social attitude towards disabled individuals.

18. Social Benefits • Professional Cricket provides a natural environment, which creates powerful support networks for people with disabilities. Communal Sports like Professional Cricket also provides a very effective and practical learning environment in relation to many day to day aspects of acquired disabilities i.e. learning from people who have similar disabilities a number of years earlier. • The families of people with a disability also develop strong and valuable support networks with the family members of others involved in Professional sports like Cricket. This is particularly powerful for people with newly acquired disabilities, when everyone in the family is involved in what can be a very difficult adjustment process. • Cricket is a family sport that people with disabilities can participate in with their able bodied friends and families, this can’t be said about all sports e.g. Football. This means that valuable friendships and family relationships can be maintained.
