The selected cricketers will participate in a 45-day training camp following this event. People with clear and visible physical disabilities and having a sound knowledge of the game were encouraged to attend in this camp to show their talents.
However, players with intellectual disability, visual and hearing impairments, minor amputation, fracture, wheelchair user, balance and coordination problems are discouraged to attend due to high risk of re-injuries.
