New Delhi: Younis Khan launched a national cricket team for disabled people on Wednesday and appealed to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and citizens of the country to come forward and help the team to establish on permanent lines.
"The most important part of this campaign is that disabled people can't be ignored as they are part of our daily life," Younis was quoted as saying in Times of India.
He further told the newspaper, "I myself have been sparing time whenever possible to support and encourage them and help them set up their own team."
Younis revealed that six months ago people had approached him to get involved in the project for forming a Pakistan disabled team.
"I responded initially because it was for a good cause but after watching the enthusiasm and keenness of these disabled people for cricket, I now feel I am doing these people no favour."
He also urged the media to take time out for the cause and do whatever possible to help the disabled people.
"I am helping them organize a national cricket league for disabled people and I am thankful the cricket board has been very supportive and helpful to us," Younis said.
