Profile
Visually impaired (VI) cricket launched at Hemel Hempstead Town Cricket Club in 2024, with the support of Hertfordshire Cricket and Blind Cricket England and Wales, who provided us with specialist equipment.
The sessions are for all ages and abilities. Our players range from those who are completely new to cricket, to one player who has represented England in VI cricket.
Our sessions in 2024 are running from early May to mid-September, at the Hemel Hempstead Town ground on most Saturday mornings. Full details are on the British Blind Sport website. You can also listen to an interview with a coach and a player on RNIB Radio here.
In 2025, we hope to have enough players to begin playing matches against teams from other areas. With the agreement of Hertfordshire Cricket we will be playing as ‘Hertfordshire Comets’, initially as friendlies but with a view to our next step being to enter a development league.
