“This emotional story of Aamir is amazing! We salute your courage, dedication to the game and spirit of never giving up even in adverse circumstances. @AdaniFoundation will contact you soon and provide you with every possible support in this unique journey.

Amir Hussain, a 34-year-old differently-abled cricketer from Waghama village in Bijbehara, South Kashmir’s Anantnag, captains Jammu & Kashmir’s Para cricket team. His professional cricket journey began in 2013 when a teacher discovered his talent and introduced him to Para cricket.
Amir, who lost both his arms in an accident at his father’s mill when he was eight years old, continues to bowl using his feet and bats by holding the bat between his shoulder and neck.
