We have recently received a couple more donated tandem bikes, and we are looking for one or two MWABA members who would be interested in keeping a bike at their home, which would allow you to ride whenever you and a riding partner are available. If you are interested and have the space to store a tandem, please reply to mwaba.inc, and we’ll be in touch!
Many thanks again to those of you who participated in our blind cricket demo back in August. Please see below for an exciting opportunity to become a part of the first-ever national blind cricket team in the U.S! We’ve also attached an informational flyer that provides more information about the game of blind cricket, and how you can learn more.
Discover Blind Cricket – Play for the United States of America!
Are you ready to embrace a new sport and represent the United States on the global stage?
Welcome to blind cricket—a unique version of cricket crafted especially for visually impaired athletes. Originating over 100 years ago, blind cricket began when two blind factory workers in Melbourne transformed a tin can filled with rocks into a game, creating a pathway for visually impaired players to engage in competitive sports. Today, this incredible legacy continues under the World Blind Cricket Council, and you have the chance to become part of it!
Blind cricket is now expanding across the United States, and we’re calling on passionate, adventurous individuals to join the national team. With no state teams to navigate, you’ll step directly into representing America on an international level! Train with us, master the skills, and get ready to travel to India in 2025 for your first tournament—an experience of a lifetime!
Whether you’re an athlete, a sports lover, or just looking for a unique challenge, we want you on our team! Contact Ms. Abigail Finklea at +1 (608) 404-0420 or abeynova4 or Ms. Shruti Shree Tyagi at +91 9899247108(whatsapp) or shrutishree to learn more about how you can make history with blind cricket."
Thanks, and see you out there!

Sports and fun for everyone!
