Students of SMK Batu Muda with the national cricket players and Special Olympics Malaysia officials during the launch of the programme.

THE Malaysian Cricket Association will put a number of national cricket players on a special task to train 30 intellectually disabled students from SMK Batu Muda as they aim to qualify for a slot to compete at the 2019 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Abu Dhabi.

In a collaborative effort with Special Olympics Malaysia (SOM), the association will begin introducing the sport of cricket to students through an eight-week training programme starting tomorrow, with a vision of setting up a team once the programme ends.
