OUR STORY
A Movement Built Around Opportunity
PCCAI was founded with the aim of creating meaningful cricket opportunities for physical disabled players across India.
Its founder, Mr. Ravi Chauhan, brought together a core team of dedicated disabled cricketers from different parts of India and established the Physically Challenged Cricket Association of India (PCCAI).
Mr. Chauhan's own journey in cricket helped shape the organisation's purpose. As a Physically Disabled National Cricketer, he worked toward building a platform where talented players could participate in structured competition and progress within the sport.
Over time, physical disability cricket in India has grown through national championships, bilateral international series and major competitions such as the HAP Cup, National Physical Disability T20 Championships and the PD Champions Trophy.
