B1 - Dennis Wells
15 October 2019
In the buildup to the BLINDCAPS vs Bangladesh series, we’re introducing you to a player a day from our BLINDCAPS team.
Player Name: Dennis Wells
Sight Category: B1
Birthplace: Putaruru (Waikato), living in Blenheim, NZ
Provincial Club: Canterbury
NZ Cap Number: ODI: 8
Specialist Area: Bowler
Player Brief: Having Retinitis Pigmentosa, Dennis is one of very few New Zealand players who has played in all 3 sight categories. While Dennis is considered an all- rounder, his biggest strength is in his bowling. One of our few dual internationals, Dennis is passionate about Goalball where he has represented NZ on multiple occasions, if he has some time available, Dennis may also be found on the back of a tandem cycle – when he can find a pilot rider. As a self-employed Osteopath – having completed a Master of Osteopathy – Dennis is likely to be the only totally blind Osteopath in the world. His osteopathy background supports his beliefs in a natural and alternative way of life. This also fits well with his enjoyment of sitting and listening to the bird life around him whenever he has the chance.
