A good move . I have never understood why we have physically challenged ball boys even if they can do the job. It looks pathetic ...like they are show ponies.

It would be fine if they are chosen for their excellence at the boundary along with others if any of them also applied for the job. 

 

But having them around so often shows they are put there on preference as some kind of show ponies.

 

Even boys with no sense of the game or lack of basic presence of mind should be kept away. Like the jokers who think it is fine to pick up the ball before it reaches the rope or the ones who try to compete with the fielder in fielding, endangering both in the process.

Edit...It's a choice between equal opportunity too all or justifying the fitness to be a ball boy.

While i agree with Beetle it looks bad but who are we to decide for him. I go with equal opportunity.

Exactly...but not on preference to showcase them .
