The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has made valuable donations to the West Indies Blind Cricket Team ahead of the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup.

Full playing kit and a financial contribution towards expenses were given to the squad ahead of their departure on Wednesday November 28.

WICB President Dr. Julian Hunte said: "We are pleased to be supporting the West Indies Blind Team as they fly the Windies flag at this world tournament. We wish them the very best as they prepare for the tournament and trust that they will be able to emulate the West Indies team in the ICC World Twenty20 tournament and bring the trophy back to the Caribbean.

"This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment towards lending support to the development and promotion of blind cricket in the Caribbean.

"We are thankful for the assistance of the WICB as it has aided significantly in ensuring that the team participates in this critical world tournament."

The opening ceremony takes place on Saturday (December 1) before the tournament gets underway the following day.
