On this occasion, Ghazal Khan expressed happiness and said "My aim is to provide the same dignity and the same platform to the Divyangjan players to show their talent, which the normal players get. These handicapped players are no less than normal players. Cricket is one of the most favorite sports not only in our country but in the whole world and Divyang cricket brings a new ray of hope in their lives. In the Tokyo Paralympics and Birmingham Commonwealth Games, our disabled players have brought laurels to the country in the whole world, then why should the disabled cricketer be kept behind. It is my humble request to the Government of India that the Divyang Cricket Control Board of India should be supported by the Sports Ministry and the financial requirements for this game should be met."
