CABI is a registered non – profit organization affiliated to World Blind Cricket Association (WBCC) and Para Olympics Committee India conducting cricket for the blind across the country. The previous parent body running blind cricket has passed on the responsibilities to Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled that was hitherto playing a very active role organising blind cricket in the South Zone. As Samarthanam’s sports initiative, a separate body – CABI - has been formed exclusively to run blind cricket across the country.

The bilateral series would set the tone for the World Cup scheduled to be held in December 2012 in Bangalore. Ten countries - Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Nepal would be taking part in this event. CABI is affiliated to World Blind Cricket Council (WBCC), which is the apex body for blind cricket. This is the first ever T-20 international cricket tournament for the blind involving several countries after such a long gap (almost 6 years).
