After a major accident during his service in the Indian Air Force, Squadron Leader Abhai Pratap Singh, found himself at a unique juncture in his life where a disability caused by the mishap gave him the right push to take on the mission of empowering several people from the disabled community.
While most wheelchair bound individuals gravitated towards sports such as basketball, Abhai presented the community with a sport closest to Indians and laid the foundations of Wheelchair Cricket India Association (W.C.I.A.). The W.C.I.A has grown to be the apex body in India which promotes the legacy of the unique sport that is wheelchair cricket and plays a crucial role in platforming wheelchair bound gifted sportsmen.
