Kent Cricket currently manages two disability teams:
- Learning and Physically Disabled (LDPD) Performance Squad
- Visually Impaired (VI) Performance Squad
All squads train during the winter months and represent Kent in National Competitions against other counties, during the summer months. This is the first step to representing the National Team managed by the ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board).
In disability cricket, there are a few rules and regulations that are specific to the different impairment groups. Where possible the game is played in accordance with the MCC Laws of Cricket but there are some differences which are detailed by the governing body for each discipline – you can find further details on the links below.
