India mixed-disability cricket series vs England

Overview

In late July 2026, the Differently Abled Cricket Council of India (DCCI) announced a 16‑member squad for a mixed‑disability IT20 series against England, scheduled for 5–19 August across venues in Derby, Leicester, Hove, Arundel and Lord’s. Majid Ah Magray of Jammu & Kashmir was named captain, with Sai Akash Saivamani as vice‑captain, and coaching staff led by former Ranji captain Rohit Jhalani, assisted by Dev Dutt and fielding coach Rohit Sharma. Prior to the tour, the team held a training camp in Chhawla, near Dwarka, New Delhi.

Coverage of the series highlighted Magray’s personal journey, including long daily commutes and a five‑year wait for an India cap. The tour concluded on 20 August with a final match at Lord’s, where India secured a 118-run victory over England. India posted a series-high 206-4, driven by Arjun Gawre’s 68 runs off 44 balls, Magray’s unbeaten 63 runs off 19 balls, and Sai Akash. In response, England was dismissed for 88, with Hilal Ahmed Wani and Jayesh Parmar taking four and three wickets respectively.

Following the win, the Indian squad and staff recreated Sourav Ganguly’s iconic shirt-waving celebration on the Lord’s balcony. Despite the emphatic victory in the seventh and final match, England won the overall seven-match IT20 series with a 4-3 advantage. England captain Callum Flynn noted the significance of playing at Lord’s despite the loss.
